In Dope is Death, it is said that “Dr. Mutulu Shakur, along with members of the Black Panther Party and the Young Lords, combined community health with radical politics to create the first acupuncture detoxification program in America.”
We want a similar convening here in tkoronto
to heal,
to mend,
to be tender again,
to fight.
Join us once a month for a warm meal, connection, bodywork, and healing.
