The Unist’ot’en Clan of the Wet’suwet’en Nation have been defending their traditional territories from Pipelines for nearly a decade and the fight is not over.
Brave, generous creatures,
We
have somethings of a most exciting nature to share with you all.
Four of our wonderful loves have offered
additional prizes that you can win with the purchase of a 2Spirit Warrior
Society Raffle Ticket. Tickets are $5
each and a name will be drawn for each prize in the raffle.

Every buck raised through this raffle will
go directly to 2Spirit Indigenous Warriors throwing down on the ground against
the Dakota Access Pipeline. We are in
direct communication with this crew as it is made up of some of the people we
love dearly. Times are desperate with the raid yesterday and arrest of 76 Water Protectors and ongoing raids today at Sacred Stone. The
2Spirit Warrior Society are gearing up to mobilize and we are pushing to meet
our fundraising goals in order to ensure they have a reliable ride for arctic
conditions to make it to court dates, actions and reach medical aid when needed.
From this need, love and solidarity have
come these incredible gifts from queer artists across Turtle Island.
Artist Nick Berger, (they/them) is an artist and musician living on occupied
Pocomtuc Territories in so-called greenfield massachusetts who has donated a 6″ hoop
custom embroidery of anything you want!
You can check out more of their work here <3
bubzee is an octopus from the west, who
reaches into dreams with her many arms and pulls free from them the thick globs
of paint stuck to the innards of our eyelids that she looks at when she is
dreaming. bubzee offers 3 pretty patches
as gifts for you to win through the raffle.
Bug Crü, a queer metis artist,
illustrator and tattooist living on un-ceded and occupied Coast Salish
territories has contributed a print, ((Ø)),
to help raise funds for the 2Spirit Warrior Society.

Ruby Doom
draws and tattoos on Pocomtuc territory and there is an original drawing by her
own hand among the treasures that the luck of the draw may provide to you.
Ruby Dooms art lives in digital land here.
So dear feral ones, in the spirit of
mutual aid and all that is still wild and ungovernable upon the body of the
earth, support the 2 Spirit Warrior Society and all the artists, healers and
makers who have contributed their labours.
Please contribute financially if you
can by entering the raffle and share our updates broadly with your family,
friends, co-workers, co-conspirators, lovers, bio fams…

Solidarity with the 2Spirit Warrior Society
Dear ones,
The fires continue to
burn at Standing Rock and all along the body of the Black Snake. New
fires are being lit each day as Indigenous resistance spreads. We are
gathering at our own points among the growing constellations to offer support
and fuel the fires of front lines as Queer and 2Spirit artists, organizers and
healers in solidarity.
We invite you to join
us through directly contributing to this fundraiser and sharing our work with
your own constellations of people until the blaze of our resistance is truly
unquenchable.
Many generous and
wonderful artists, makers and healers have contributed incredible services,
hand crafted gifts and works of art to this raffle in support of the 2Spirit
Warrior Society.
Works include limited
edition prints by artists Noel’le Longhaul, beyon wren moor and Annie Banks, a
handcrafted book by Emi Lynn Holler, original stick and poke tattoos by Kiala
and photographic prints by Amber Bracken and Wulfgang Zapf. Tender hearts
have also contributed hand made clothing, massages, herbal consultations and
more. The combined monetary value of all raffle items is over $2000 in
so-called canadian dollars.
All proceeds raised
through this raffle will go directly to the purchase of a 4×4 truck, trailer
and yurt for members of the 2Spirit Warrior Society to support their continued
struggle against the Dakota Access Pipeline.
To view the prizes,

Warrior Communique from #NODAPL
Late last night, lit by the fire of burning barricades, a warrior in the frontlines of #NoDAPL issued a call out for local actions in solidarity with their fight to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline.
Fuck Yes.
