Forage with Care Patch
This patch was inspired by our desire to move with love and care on this earth, especially while foraging. We see our work as building toward economies of care, where all people, animals and the land are all valued and respected!
As the Red Nation Collective writes in “The Red Deal” , “A green economy should be born from, and center the labor and needs of, caretakers. Indigenous people, for example, are already working “green jobs,” they’re just not getting paid or enjoying the protections employment offers for land, water, and treaty defense. Caretaking is often unrecognized work that is heavily gendered, severely criminalized, and never fairly compensated. The pay gaps between carceral and military workers (mostly men), and care workers (mostly women), makes this crystal clear. The climate justice movement needs to center the labor struggle of caretakers if it is to be successful. Caretakers can be powerful authors of a new economic system to replace capitalism through a caretaking economy.”
With our collective being white settlers on the shores of this contient, the need to forage and walk on the land with care is even more important. It’s important that European desceded folks understand, while we also come from people of the land, it has been indegenous people who have been stewarding these ecosystems for generations and have often been arrested for trying to forage in the forests of their ancestral homelands.
For every patch sold, we will be donating a portion of the funds to the Tomaquag Museum in Rhode Island, an indigenous run museum dedicated to preserving the history and traditions of the indigenous people of the land we are on.
