Think Big Wedgwood

from the wedgwood community council
“Under the “Wedgwood Welcomes All” banners that line 35th Ave NE in Wedgwood and across from the landbank park site that played host to George Floyd protests, 6 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials (5 of which were masked) extracted a man from his vehicle and detained him in an unmarked truck before hauling him away. The man, Alberto, stated that he is a DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) resident before an ICE agent reached into his vehicle, unlocked his door, and removed him. It is unclear whether ICE agents had a warrant to remove Alberto from his vehicle.”

Hello!! My name is Joy, I live and work in Wedgwood in 35th Ave. Joyful Soul Wellness. I was recently donated 70 tomato plants and decided to attempt a community garden at the “park” on 35th, next to Javasti Cafe. In an effort to engage with neighbors, be in community and be of service, we are planning a low-key do what you can gathering on Sunday, June 22. 12-3. Come celebrate the end of another school year! Pics below for reference. Inviting neighbors to join and add to the space however they’d like.
I’m looking for donations of mulch, soil, tomato cages, also looking to make a pollinator garden in the planter box. And paint if thats something anyone has.

I am not a gardening person typically but I am having so much fun learning and experimenting.

Would love support, donations, spread the word about Sundays gathering!

Cheers, Joyce Chmura

Think Big Wedgwood has been silent for a while.

Admittedly- we were worn out and de spirited for many reasons.

One thing that can always be done (even when exhausted) is learning.

I personally don’t fully understand (yet) what’s fully happening in Israel/Palestine and have finally woken up to the fact that ITS NOT OK TO IGNORE.

ignorance=violence
silence=violence

One thing we know is that mainstream u.s.news is the news of colonizers. Its ok to watch it - but make sure to balance it with other sources.
