Haa Tóoch Lichéesh—”We believe it is possible”—is a grassroots coalition rooted in an Indigenized worldview, bridging belonging across identities and committed to the framework and practice of healing justice. Grounded in Lingít Aaní and guided by culture, we work across Juneau and Southeast Alaska to prevent violence, promote healing, and dismantle systems of racial, gender-based, ableist, and colonial oppression. Through trauma-informed, survivor-centered approaches, our programs, projects, and partnerships aim to create the conditions for healing and wellness from the inside out—nurturing sustainable, just, and interdependent communities. Every day, we recommit to collective care, accountability, and unity, recognizing both the challenge and the urgency of this work in the face of historical and ongoing harm.

Today, we are forging a new path that centers community voice, relational leadership, and the restoration of healthy systems. As a coalition, our strength lies in relationships. With over 30 partner organizations—from tribal governments and grassroots groups to schools, local businesses, and regional entities—we’re working together toward a shared vision: a Southeast Alaska free from violence. Our model centers collaboration, mutual accountability, and collective care—anchored in relationships and rooted in culture.
