A more peaceful world is possible.
Who We Are
We’re All Neighbors is a nonprofit that connects neighbors so that the full potential of our communities can emerge. We organize events and initiatives based on the belief that we are stronger together.
We envision a network of neighborhoods working together for a better world.
Our Guiding Beliefs
A more peaceful world is possible - We share MLK’s vision of the Beloved Community, in which justice and care form the basis of a society where all individuals can thrive.
We are all connected - No action happens in a bubble, but is connected to a larger system in which we all play a role. What affects one of us affects all of us.
Relationships are our greatest assets - Building and maintaining trusting relationships fosters a sense of belonging, responsibility, and empowerment—leading to stronger and more resilient communities where everyone’s needs can be met.
Everyone has something to contribute - Each member of a community has a role to play and unique value to share. By understanding our own needs and those of others, we can find where we are excited to contribute, and more effectively share our gifts.
Open hearts open doors - There is a core self, or heart, in every person that is wise and compassionate. When we connect with our heart, we choose to open the door to a more loving world.
Why Neighborhoods?
The connected neighborhood is a missing piece in our social fabric. Systemic failures need to be addressed at every level, and neighborhoods are just an entry point. Modern Western culture has lost the village mentality of mutual support and resilience. We have developed tribes in other ways (work, sports, our families), but the neighborhood is an often untapped resource.
Neighborhoods are the building blocks of larger communities and society. By establishing new systems and practices at the neighborhood level, these changes can spread and influence larger systems and institutions. Focusing on neighborhoods also allows for a more participatory and democratic approach to social change. Instead of relying on top-down approaches that prioritize the voices of those in power, neighborhood-based approaches prioritize the voices and experiences of those who are most impacted.
Focusing on the world’s problems can be overwhelming, but small, incremental changes can lead to significant improvements on your block and beyond.
Your purchase makes a difference.
100% of our proceeds go towards our 501(c)(3) nonprofit’s work progressing the mission of loving globally while thinking locally through community-building initiatives at home and beyond.
Our commitment to peaceful practices.
Our commitment to a more peaceful world begins with a dedication to sustainable and ethical business practices.
We hand-pick each of our shirts from manufacturers that prioritize the environment and the people working for them. We choose socially responsible production facilities with programs that monitor and certify lawful, humane and ethical practices. Our manufacturers also prioritize energy efficient practices.
We print all our apparel locally in Austin, TX using non-toxic, water-based inks. This means that our inks don't produce any plastic wastewater in the printing and equipment cleaning process.
We ship all of our products in biodegradable and compostable packaging to even further reduce our footprint so you can get to the good stuff: creating a world with less harm.
Lastly, we are committed to constantly improving our business to be more sustainable and loving for the environment and the people we impact.
