It is a collective rooted in anti-capitalist and anarchist principles that forms in 2006 in New York City. They write: "the Rock Dove Collective is a radical community health exchange working to address the need for accessible and anti-oppressive health care in our communities. We coordinate a network of health practitioners who provide physical, mental, sexual, emotional, social and spiritual care from a progressive perspective on well-being. We are a collective of anarchist and radical individuals who support de-centralized and non-oppressive forms and sources of health, we see this as both a daily necessity and a revolutionary strategy" (Idealist, n.d.).

The collective will be active until 2012.
