About Abolition Apothecary

Our Story

Our friend Ray got arrested for fighting back against a r*pist, a way too common situation called survived and punished (see www.survivedandpunished.org to learn more). Ray is a queer, disabled non-binary sex worker and activist, and it costs about $5 to talk on the phone for 15 minutes. Plus legal costs and commissary costs for food and pads and drinking water, the entire prison industrial complex needs to go. But since we needed money for Ray, I started selling bath bombs and herbal shit. 

We now raise money for other mutual aid needs that benefit queer, trans, disabled, immigrant, incarcerated and BIPOC folks. Some sales are also fundraisers for our landleeches, but a lot of our proceeds go to mutual aid and fighting the good fight. 

We know all oppression is connected, and we know the system is never gonna help us. So we help each other. And when we fight we win. Sometimes. It's generational work. So we gotta have each other's backs.

To be clear, no one is ever gonna self-care their way to collective liberation, but community care is real. We're all we have. 

Oh, and all products are made from food grade ingredients in a home kitchen. I grow a lot of plants in my community garden plot, and also in buckets I stole from behind the costco. And I gather plants from the neighborhood.
