Black Land Collective Fund !

Peace , ⁣ ⁣ Our names are Cyán-a queer Black, working class, disabled person of trans experience & Donnay- a queer Black, working-class femme. We are reaching out to call on those with class privilege to donate to a fund for us to start a Black radical land project! With the growing unrest around us due to the global pandemic and the illness of white supremacy, it has become even more necessary that Black folks of all identities have access to freedom outside of the city-scape. It is crucial to our survival that we have space that provides security, healing, and safety. We are looking to obtain land that is accessible to travel to from a city, so that when needed, Black peoples can come and make home/ sanctuary. Because housing insecurity is prevalent in our community, especially with those holding poor, trans, or disabled identities, this land project is deeply close to our hearts. ⁣⁣ ⁣ Our hope is to have a collective of black people to get land, create a farm, an herbalism center, with education programs, arts, meditation, and black spiritual practices. We want a space where we can live long term, to build a community where food is readily accessible and free from chemicals, a place where our education is centered in truth, hope and joy, and a space where when conflict does happen, we as a community are ready to hold each other instead of disposing one another. ⁣ ⁣ We have been everything from organizers, to educators, artists, grocery workers, herbalists, in this system that has tried to stifle our freedom. Our hope is to raise funds for this land or to have help obtain land that is not being used. Thank you for sharing and amplifying this dream.⁣ ⁣ With much love, ⁣ ⁣ Cyán & Donnay ⁣
