Flyer with text and images on a light background. The main text in the center reads:
COMMUNITY AS MEDICINE FOR US ALL
A truly decolonized system is one that embraces queerness as both natural and necessary for an integrated way of life.
By joining us this weekend, you not only stand in your power with us, but in collaboration with us, as an acting contributor that further develops and evolves the Indigenous methodologies that will disrupt, decolonize, and ultimately restore.
This restoration effort does not occur with one single act or method, rather, it requires many acts cooperating in unity to create a methodology that interrupts colonial authority and replaces it with sovereignty. Hand in hand, we will restore balance and heal through the integration of “community as medicine” for us all.
