Hello Loves,

Our dear friend, Goot-Ges, is in the midst
of a serious struggle for her health and so we are inviting you to send some
love and care her way with us.

A part of what she needs is access to foods
that nourish and don’t harm her body.
While Goot-Ges has put away some traditional foods one of the most
violent and enduring facets of colonialism is the destruction of traditional
food sources.  This forces indigenous
peoples to be reliant on colonial capitalist systems to survive, perpetuating the
exploitation of land and people.  What
this means for Goot-Ges right now is that living up North under capitalism
there is little to no access to healthy, affordable Gluten Free food.

So, we are putting together a care package
to send to Goot Ges and her 3 children in so-called Prince Rupert.  If you would like to contribute an item, some
funds (to purchase items on our list or to help cover postage, any extra funds
will be sent directly to Goot-Ges), or a favourite gluten free recipe we would
love for you to do that.  (We are located
on Lkwungen/WSÀNEC territory).

We have put together a list, which you can
find below.  Please let us know what item
you are donating via email.  Also, if you
have something you would like to offer that is not on the list please reach out
to us, as we are sure that the Universe has needed surprises we have not
thought of and perhaps you are her conduit.

We will be sending the care package on Monday February 27th.

and her important work you can visit her website here: yakguudangjournies.wordpress.com

To get in touch with us you can contact voicesfrontlines@gmail.com to ask
a question, arrange a drop off, make an e-transfer of funds, share a recipe
etc.
