Since putting together the relief supplies for the Diné Nation’s devastating bouts of coronavirus last year, we’ve been busy!

Wellness care packs for Huerto Junta Days 2021

We’ve been:

Organizing inventory.

Providing custom care packages to sick Latinx families..

Collaborated in February with Huerto de la Familia to provide 167 wellness packs for their member families during their annual garden registration events.

We’ve received a seed grant from HWB headquarters.

Most recently, we’ve partnered with Huerto to begin developing a bilingual outdoor herbalism classroom at Skinner City Farm. We are very excited to pull the blanket off of that bed and dig in with fresh enthusiasm!

Hey Folks!

As many likely know, stark disparities exist in the impact of Covid-19 on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). This systematic racism and classism results in dramatically disproportionate rates of infection and death from Covid-19 among these communities. For example, data from former months from the Arizona department of health services reported that Native Americans make up 16% of the state’s Covid-19 related deaths, despite representing only 6% of the state’s population. These disparities are much more likely than the data suggests.

In the interest of sharing some of the awesome work our team is doing, below is the complete list of medicines that were just shipped to the Diné/Navajo Nation in Arizona as part of our local solidarity efforts with the Diné!

While we know we can’t undo 500 years of Eurocolonial and post-colonial oppression and genocide committed against these peoples, we’re proud to stand in solidarity.
