Dear hearts of resistance, today, as
thousands continue taking it to the streets, we want to feature one of our contributors
to the 2Spirit Warrior Society raffle, Cea Wiley, a practicing herbalist. Because we see you. We see you on the countless front lines,
front lines to protect the water, the medicine, the air, front lines to end the
violence enacted by the state on black and brown bodies, front lines breaking
down dangerous gender binaries, front lines to keep each other alive as fentanyl
has added to a drug war that has grown in crescendo to a crisis.
You are survivor and resistor both. And trauma is real.
Your health, the health of the land and
the water and the air are interconnected.
Your healing is resistance, it is part of this struggle we walk each
day. Caring for yourself, caring for
each other and healing is part of our important work so we can be strong for
ourselves and one another.
Cea Wiley, a trans, queer herbalist and
anarchist, who has generously donated 3 herbal consultations, to our raffle
raising funds for the 2Spirit Warrior Society, works from this place. This place where our survival is our
resistance and the way one practices medicines is a part of dismantling forces
of colonialism, white supremacy and cis-heteropatriarchy.
Cea Wiley practices herbalism drawing
from their training as a street medic and licensed EMT-B. Using harm reduction
models, Cea strives to empower their clients to look at and make informed
decisions for themselves and their health.
To have a chance to win 1 of 3 herbal
consultations with Cea enter our raffle and help us support our dear friends in
the 2Spirit Warrior Society as they throw down in the fight against the Dakota
Access Pipeline.

Cea prioritizes a low-cost practice,
acknowledging class disparities stemming from as well as reinforcing racism,
colonization, gender, ability and resource accessibility.
Be careful with each other dear ones,
so you can be dangerous together!
