Did you ask where does this all lead?
After visiting Roots and hearing about the work on the ground, you probably wonder and perhaps asked us about political solutions. While our work is focused on building and trust between our communiteis, 2 States 1 Homeland is an example that we point to as a political model that embodies much of Roots' values and discourse.
