About Roots
A space built for one thing. Getting people talking, showing up, and working together in the communities where they actually live.
A space built for one thing. Getting people talking, showing up, and working together in the communities where they actually live.
To give people a real, direct way to communicate, volunteer, and organize with each other, not just at each other.
A legitimate public forum where communities can hold open discussion, coordinate action, and build something together, grounded in the neighborhoods people call home.
Communicate, share ideas, and coordinate with the people around you. A neighborhood cleanup, a citywide push for change, or something in between.
Find real volunteer opportunities and discover events worth going to, including a calendar built with young people in mind, so there's always somewhere to be.
An event planning site and app rolled into one. Post events, organize boycotts and fundraisers, and find both on a searchable calendar and map.
The biggest happenings across Roots, straight to your inbox.
A living, modern day Green Book. A map of trusted local businesses, rated openly by the public.
Roots Forum for open discussion under your own name. The Bloc for anonymous, hyper local conversation, like the neighborhood group chat you didn't know you needed.
"I created this platform so that people can make their communities better. We are a YIMBY platform. The United States deserves reliable public infrastructure and walkable cities."— Benjamin Bennett, Founder of Roots
This is about giving the American people a voice, and making sure people stay connected to each other, not just to their phones.
Our model is simple. Use this to get off the screen, meet your neighbors, and work toward the common good.
