The Anniversary of the WAMM Raid

To this day we serve patient needs engaging a social model of patient care through building community. As a patient based organization, we respond to need by caring for each other from within what might otherwise be a marginalized population. We provide space for members, grow all of our organic medicine, and make all of our products. Instead we are mighty, even providing care for our members as they face death.

When I look back over nearly 20 years of service I am never disappointed, always inspired, often exhausted, constantly learning, so deeply enriched, and infinitely grateful. Grateful to our community, to the efforts of the many who have built WAMM, from the very first days, our community, our staff, our garden, our meetings, our Board of Directors, our volunteers, our members, our supporters, our attorneys, to the inspiration and the moral code set forth by civil rights activists who have worn the path of liberty, to deceased WAMM members who remain our mentors, to those of you who have trusted our intention and commitment. This is what fulfills, what points to the value in living well, what stirs compassion, and provides inspiration.

What an inspiration and a joyful gift. Thank you for contributing to the vision.
