Herbal Justice is the empowerment of all people through the creation of self- and community-based sovereignty over one's own health and wellness in relationship with herbs.
You are welcome to join us at Railyard Apothecary for an intentional gathering in support of The Vermont Ibutwa Initiative. April, being sexual violence awareness month, inspired us to partner with local advocacy groups in solidarity with allies and survivors of sexual violence.
We also want to create space for addressing social and environmental justice concerns, including but not limited to herbal access, disaster relief outreach, intersectionality, privilege and cultural relativism.
We hope for you to walk away with information about how to get involved, stay engaged and how to deepen individual work of weaving together integrity, self care, and collective liberation within herbalism and health care.
Partner Organizations:
Vermont Ibutwa Initiative: Ibutwa means “renaissance” in Lega, the language of the Lega tribe of the Mwenga District, South Kivu. We seek to contribute to the rebirth of the people of the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo) through raising awareness, medical treatment, and empowerment efforts. Our mission is to help victims of sexual and gender-based violence to rebuild their lives by addressing their physical, psychological, social, and economic needs. Ibutwa practices an inclusive and holistic approach to care.
Ibutwa’s awareness-raising efforts are rooted in our fundamental belief that we, as informed people, have a responsibility to educate those in the United States about the negative impacts of war and social disorder on the people of the DR Congo. These efforts largely take form of presentations given at places of worship, college and university campuses, and other communal gatherings. The goal of these efforts is to create a will for committed action and advocacy.
Rights & Democracy: We believe rights and democracy are won when people come together to make their voices heard, so we’re building a strong movement to empower all people. RAD offers training workshops to build more leaders and amplify political will.
P.A.U.S.E: People Advocating and Uniting for Social Equity is a student-led community activist group at Champlain College dedicated to fostering a campus community to pause, to question societal systems and their oppressive potential, and then take action.
Office of Diversity & Inclusion: Champlain College's Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) aims to create a welcoming, accepting, and affirming environment for all students, while providing support to all underrepresented student populations.
