Black Food Sovereignty Coalition

"Our wellbeing is inextricably tied to the wellbeing of other humans, flora, fauna, microbes & every part of our ecosystems." 

- Dr. Ayesha Khan

Whether we want to accept it or not, everything is connected. This concept is often dismissed because it requires critically thinking about the uncomfortable aspects of history, particularly around colonization, white supremacy and capitalism. Intersectional environmentalism acknowledges that in order to address the climate crises, we must create an equitable and diverse future that values traditional knowledge. 

Every year I donate a percentage of my earnings to a local non-profit that centers around keeping the Pacific Northwest thriving through sustainability, environmental outreach and restoration projects. When you receive a treatment at Well Forest Acupuncture, you're making a conscious decision to support the health of our community and local ecosystem while you receive healthcare.

Last year you helped me donate $125 to Willamette Riverkeeper and $125 to Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission, two wonderful non-profits that support the health of our rivers and the people who care for them. 

This year we are supporting the Black Food Sovereignty Coalition!

“The Black Food Sovereignty Coalition (BFSC) serves as a collaboration hub for Black and Brown communities to confront the systemic barriers that make food, place and economic opportunities inaccessible to us. BFSC is focused on meeting these barriers with creative, innovative, and sustainable solutions. Built on a decade of work of founding members of the Black Food Sovereignty Council and other Black-identified leaders and stakeholders in the Pacific Northwest, the BFSC mission is to ignite Black and brown communities to participate as owners and movement leaders within food systems, placemaking, and economic development.”
