Environment
DC Mutual Aid Apothecary (DCMA) is a Black, femme, and queer-led mutual aid network stewarded by and centered in the needs of Black and otherwise marginalized communities in the District’s Wards 7 & 8. Since our founding in 2020, we have grown from a rapid COVID-19 response project into a healing justice hub of herbalists, community health practitioners, farmers, and organizers collaborating to provide accessible herbal products, education, and resources to an intergenerational community. Rooted in practices of solidarity and community care, DCMA is building an alternative vision for a more equitable District health care system. Our programming and partnerships create spaces for our community to access herbal medicine and education, reconnect to ancestral plant knowledge, steward land, and build networks and relationships towards radical systems change.
