Alliance For Felix Cove

What Alliance For Felix Cove does

Alliance For Felix Cove (A4FC) is a nonprofit, Indigenous women-led advocacy organization founded in 2021 by Theresa Harlan (Kewa Pueblo by birth, adopted Coast Miwok). It works to protect, restore, and rematriate the ancestral Felix Family homelands at Felix Cove within Point Reyes National Seashore, on the western shore of Tamal-liwa (Tomales Bay), where the Coast Miwok/T\u00e1mal-ko people maintained continuous presence for at least 15,000 years before forced removal. The organization is a fiscally sponsored project of Movement Strategy Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Oakland, CA.

A4FC's core offerings are community-based programs and advocacy initiatives rather than technology products: the Indigenous Youth Kayak Program, Tule Canoe Building Workshops led by Indigenous knowledge keepers, the Voices of Tamal liwa digital storytelling project (funded by California Humanities), and the Felix Cove Vision Plan — a roadmap proposing a Felix Family Living History Center and Indigenous plant garden. Strategic direction is shaped by the multigenerational Strawberry Sisters Leadership Circle, an advisory body of Indigenous women leaders. The organization is actively pursuing a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service to steward Felix Cove and is embedded in a broader Northern California Land Back coalition alongside Sogorea Te' Land Trust and Coast Miwok Council of Marin.

Revenue is generated exclusively through donations (processed via Movement Strategy Center, FlipCause, and BetterUnite) and grants, with no commercial products or pricing tiers. GTM is community-led: direct programming, in-person cultural gatherings, advocacy campaigns (e.g., a 1,000-signature Vision Plan petition), and storytelling distributed via website, newsletter, social media, earned press, and podcasts. Operating geography is the San Francisco Bay Area, with programming at White House Pool Park, McNears Beach Park, and other Marin County venues. Headcount is 1-10 employees and the organization is celebrating its fifth anniversary in 2025.
