Welcome to Sassafras.

We are a worker-owned cooperative that designs and builds technology for justice and joy, working with NGOs, academics, artists, and beyond.

Movement-aligned work with meaningful impact.

We are a worker-owned cooperative that designs and builds technology in service of justice movements. We catalyze software projects that expand spaces for movements and people in them to dream, collaborate, build power, heal, and experience joy. We care for and improve long-standing tools that organizers, NGOs, artists, researchers, and other change-makers rely on. We advise on design, engineering, and funding strategies for technology initiatives.

We know that people solve problems, not computers. We may advise against custom software if you and your organization can meet your needs another way that is more sustainable or safer. If we do develop software together, we will prioritize the expertise, needs, and safety of the people who will use it. Our projects span from non-extractive finance software to digital monuments of collective grief; from online storytelling for anti-harassment to data collection for equitable health research.
