Healthy Body Care Skill Share: The Co Immunity Campaign 2018

Product Description

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Supporters

The Canadian Medical Association recognizes that the products we use daily, and the environment that we live, study and work in, impacts our health; that the solutions to our current healthcare problems involve integrated approaches initiated in all aspects of society. Anarres Natural Health Apothecary is a not-for-profit storefront, learning co-operative, and online mail-order resource for natural and ethical body care. Health for us is full-spectrum. Caring for our urban ecosystem encompasses trading & farming practices, working conditions, producing & packaging, transportation and social collateral.

Toronto’s poverty rates are higher than the provincial and national average. Food bank usage has gone up 19% since 2016, the average rent for a 1 bedroom apartment is more than full-time minimum wage earnings, and more than half of GTA workers are precariously employed in temporary, contract or part-time jobs. The World Health Organization reminds us that the people in the lowest economic groups are exposed to the greatest personal and environmental health risks, and have the highest risk of illness and disability. The Co-Immunity Campaign is a chance to educate and re-skill our communities towards better personal and planetary health.

Daily exposure to toxins found in ordinary dollar- and drug-store body care products can lead to devastating health outcomes including fibroids, cancers, metabolic and immune diseases, multiple chemical sensitivities, allergies, skin disease, early puberty, infertility, menstrual & menopausal issues, respiratory illness and developmental delays. Some of us can choose to avoid toxins by buying healthier body care – but many can only afford to use products that make them, their families and the planet sick and sicker.

We are launching an exciting body care, skill share campaign that will have a collective, long-term impact on the health of our communities and the land we live on by empowering people with the lowest incomes to take control of their bodies and what goes on and in them.

All participants, whether sponsored by the Co-Immunity Fund or not, will learn together:

100% of the contributions to the Co-Immunity Campaign will go toward training more than 73 participants in 2019 who could not otherwise afford to participate in our unique, informative and practical workshops. Fully funded with your help, the Co Immunity Campaign will open up spots for 48 people to attend intro workshops, spots for 24 people to attend full-day workshops and one year-long Aromatherapy Certification Program scholarship.

By making 336 products in-class, participants can spare the planet at least 1344 single-use containers! The savings from making affordable healthy body care can put $21,504 back into the pockets of participants, where much-needed monies can be spent at local grocery stores and within the local economy. And that’s before a single participant shares their products with their loved ones or their skills with their community! Put another way, your gift of $50 saves a single participant $54 in the first year alone, taking money out of uncaring corporate hands and putting it back into the community where the people with the lowest incomes among us spend virtually ALL of their income!

Participants will have the opportunity to Pay It Forward by contributing their savings so that another person can learn, and be supported in teaching others how to make their own body care. In this way, we expect the Co Immunity Campaign to exceed our goals. We look forward to this learning rippling throughout the community and lasting a lifetime!

Benefits that our Co-Immunity Project participants will experience are:

When you participate in the Co Immunity Campaign, you become part of a community that takes care of each other.

We invite you to multiply the impact of the good choices you make every day for yourself and the planet. We invite you to become an Agent of Change.

UP-UPDATE: We raised $1554.74, short of our $8200 goal, but still able to fully sponsor 39 workshops. Since most participants will contribute some amount, and we will continue to sell through silent auctions and by-donation items in the store, I believe we’ll be able to offer 50 participants subsidies this year. This not only means better health for the people with the lowest incomes among us, it means sparing the planet hundreds of single-use containers and putting hundreds of dollars back into the pockets of people and their local communities. THANK YOU Carrie Klassen Angela Bischoff Lorraine Barnaby Jocelyn Kearns Edan Thomas and to co campaigners Elizabeth Redmond Alison Ai Tamara Pope Terrie Bobbikins

Thanks so much for your support for the Co Immunity Campaign. With your help, we are already able to offer 28 supported workshop spots in 2018. But we hope to be able to offer so much more – especially the full day workshops that may help kickstart a small business for someone who is struggling with an inadequate income presently. To do that, we need to get the word out to as many people as possible, and as soon as possible! Could you reach out to someone who might be interested in sharing our story on a blog, on TV or in a newspaper? Would you please share this link with your friends by email and on social media? https://chuffed.org/project/bodycareskillshare In Love & RRRRRevolution, Tracey
