Statement of Solidarity from Four Season Foraging Founder Maria Wesserle

Today marks the three month date since the tragic murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. Starting at that time, I pledged to make monthly donations to local groups that fight for the dignity of black lives, organize to defund the MPD, and/or work to end the racist and classist system of incarceration in the United States.

This month, I am making a monetary donation to Herbalists for Racial Justice. “Herbalists for Racial Justice is a small collective of herbalists & medicine makers redistributing herbal resources to BIPOC [Black, Indigenous, and people of color] on Dakota + Anishinaabe land.”

If you have suggestions on groups to fund, please feel free to send me a direct message or email me at info@fourseasonforaging.com. Thank you.

In Solidarity,

Maria
