About Dream & Scheme

Dream & Scheme was launched as a container for building authentic, justice-oriented ways to survive under late-stage capitalism in the American Empire. We came together as collaborators to support each other, share the administrative burden of freelancing, and dream together about a better world. Though the services we offer are different we share core commitments to antiracism, decolonization, repairing harm, and prioritizing time to rest and play. Meet the current Dreamers & Schemers below - and drop us a line if you’re curious about joining us! 

Alison Wood (they/them) - Alison is a facilitator, schemer, and educator rooted in the U.S./Mexico borderlands on Tohono O’odham land colonially called Tucson, Arizona. Outside of Dream & Scheme, they work occasionally as a graduate faculty associate at the Arizona State University School of Social Work and consistently as a baker at a local coffee shop. Alison is called to community tending and deep listening while holding space for rest and silliness. Alison built their vocational discernment passion and skills over ten years of work with young adults in year long service corps, elders in mainline Protestant churches, and people of all ages surviving burnout in non-profit agencies. Alison maintains their resilience with haphazard arts and crafts, walks in the desert, and group viewings of trashy television.

Luke Rembold (he/him) - Luke is an educator, youth leader, and advocate for the leadership of young people in our churches and communities. A child of two educators, Luke is passionate about the intersection of education and faith, and fervently believes education has the power to transform our communities and the world. He currently serves as the youth and young adult ministry coordinator for the Presbytery of Santa Fe, while also spending a lot of time in the New Mexico sun teaching tennis at the Tennis Club of Albuquerque.  Luke enjoys caring for his houseplants, listening to and playing music, and taking camping getaways as methods to sustain his resilience.

Our commitment to redistributing resources:

Dream & Scheme is incorporated on the unceded homelands of the Tohono O’odham and Pascua Yaqui peoples. Our current collaborators are white-bodied people who benefit from generational wealth. As a small act of repair, and to recognize how we benefit from the dominant culture, 10% of every contract with Dream & Scheme will be donated to a local justice organization led by global majority community members.
