–Dominique Pearson (they/them), Healer, Herbalist & Cooperative Food Educator
Since 2011, our BY US, FOR US grassroots initiative sustained by Accomplice/Ally engagement aides and advocates for low-income, genderqueer, People Of Culture.
Originally, in 2011, our focus was on free herbal clinics and Indigenous Solidarity, which grew to rural Seed libraries in 2013 and then wildland and watershed restoration in 2016, which is now sprouting into social advocacy through gardening and planting trees. Over the last decade, our focus is collective care, spiritual wellness, cultural revitalization, intersectional diversity, and play. Finally, in 2021, we introduced rest and reparations into our framework. As we enter 2022, we return to our origins of multi-day events and writing.
Genderqueer People Of Culture can take part in any of our programs for free or pay what you can by making a request. For updates on our current happenings keep up with our Moonly Newsletter.
Everyone else people support our work.

Nia Solidarity Stipends
Nia, a Kiswahili word, means Purpose through developing and restoring our community to their traditional greatness. We do this by giving reparation stipends. Funds are for any use although generally used for basic dignities like housing, food, education, utilities, trade advancing tools, assistance, medicine and mental health.
