This is a free call to action for ALL BIPOC to address abuse of BIPOC women and fem-presenting LGBTQIA in the psychedelics and indigenous medicine environments.

This is a call for community, this is a call for transformative justice. We have to build the community that we need— this forum is step one towards that goal.

There is an enormous amount of vulnerability when seeking healing via psychedelics and indigenous medicine. There is enormous vulnerability when in an altered state. An alarming number of people arrive at the need for psychedelic and indigenous healing due to a history of experiencing sexual trauma. Many come to sacred earth medicine after other methods have failed to heal and connect them back to their bodies. The same population is most at risk for sexual trauma. Women and fem-presenting LGBTQIA have been harmed in both underground and above ground/Western medicine spaces.

We will not remain silent. We will not remain unprotected. We must take action to protect ourselves and each other. We cannot do this alone. We need help, accountability, and support. If you have been harmed, witnessed harm, heard of harm— this space is for you.

Our intentions for this forum is:

• to create community

• to have a space to process individual and collective harm

• to create an action plan for safety and accountability

• to tend to survivors

• to help you regain your power

• to offer support and resources
