Join us in cultivating networks of support, acts of mutual aid and fostering social spaces which offer safer alternatives to nationalistic celebrations.
🧡🧡🧡
A few communities are hosting events that centre solidarity with Indigenous youth. We will be dying fabrics - bandanas, t-shirt, cloth, linen & wool clothing - orange using plants. Each community is raising funds for a local (to them) initiative for Indigenous youth. Because our struggles are all connected, participating communities can also donate part of the funds raised to Indigenous* youth in other parts of the world experiencing imperial invasion & and colonial violence.
🧡🧡🧡
Participating communities will post the details of their own events and each will be shared here. This is intended to be an ongoing, yearly tradition.
🧡🧡🧡
We are looking for gardeners and farmers who want to grow dyers coreopsis, a plant used to dye fabric orange, so we can build kits for communities to use next year.
If you are interested, please reach out!
We can mail you a package!
🧡🧡🧡
*We are using “Indigenous” here as defined by the United Nations.
