The main focus of the Solidarity Apothecary is making and distributing plant medicines to people experiencing state violence and repression. This can be in form of care packages, one-to-one support or as part of the mobile clinic.

State violence is a brutal reality for many; an experience that is racialised, classed and gendered in its design and application. The scope of state harms is beyond what I can describe or define on this page. Free herbal support is available to people experiencing state violence in different ways. For example:
- People that have been arrested and are recovering from police violence
- People experiencing state repression, for example, on trial or awaiting trial, under house arrest and other restrictions
- Prisoners and people in immigration detention (via the Prisoner Herbalism Collective)
- Refugees, asylum seekers, undocumented migrants experiencing border violence (as well as ex-detainees)
- People bereaved from state violence
- Prisoner families and those affected by imprisonment (especially long-term)
- Frontline organisers that are engaged in support and solidarity work during these times
- Frontline organisers at sites of resistance such as protest camps, occupations, uprisings etc.
If you’re not on this list, please don’t hesitate to still contact me. I have also donated herbs to various BIPOC projects, abortion support projects, mental health projects, homeless projects etc. Themselves inseparable from the harms of the state. I will always say if something is not possible or beyond my capacity. Or I will try to connect you with other herbalists that can offer support. If you are interested in receiving books for your project, please see the Prisoner’s Herbal Request page here.
