Roger and Tarin organized a WESPAC trip to the Wassaic Community Farm where members were able to help with the farm work and experience life in the country for a day. The WESPAC office is a drop off location for the Wassaic CSA. Pick up is on Saturday mornings from 8am to 10am. A few shares are still available. We have been sharing recipes with each other and the weekly delivery of fresh, local vegetables and herbs really improves our diets and supports our local farmers!

@ethicalnyc : Onondaga Nation territory is home to people who live according to their original instructions among the woods, waters, and hills of their ancestors. The Onondaga care for the land as a sovereign nation independent of the United States — including maintaining all the infrastructure and services that New York State provides to settler communities. That includes operating a highly trained volunteer Fire Department to respond to all fires and emergencies on the Nation’s land and to back up the volunteer fire departments in the surrounding settler communities.As land returns to the Nation as a result of centuries of advocacy and relationship-building, the need for critical land care services like the Onondaga Nation Volunteer Fire Department only grows.Fighting fires requires special training and equipment — and it’s expensive. In 2024 the Onondaga firefighters must raise $230,000 to cover ten protective suits that allow them to fight fires safely. Without any support from the state, feds, or county, Onondaga firefighters are relying on donations to meet this critical need.
