Support Soul Quest's Fight for Religious Freedom

Soul Quest Church of Mother Earth: A Call to Preserve Sacred Practices and Religious Freedom

Introduction to the Appeal for Support

Dear Members of Soul Quest Church of Mother Earth,

For many years, Soul Quest has served as a spiritual sanctuary, connecting thousands globally to their ancestral roots, and offering paths towards enlightenment. This mission has been supported by tribal leaders from across the Amazon, sharing ancient teachings through our sacred sacrament of Ayahuasca. However, our religious freedom and the use of Ayahuasca are now under severe threat.

Legal Battle for Religious Freedom

Soul Quest is currently engaged in a vital legal battle to defend our right to use Ayahuasca as a sacrament, highlighting the complexities of the Controlled Substances Act and the necessity of a religious exemption under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Despite our efforts to demonstrate our religious sincerity, the DEA's opposition presents a significant challenge to obtaining a judicial exemption.

Challenges from the DEA

The DEA's actions against our RFRA exemption claim have been a major obstacle. Despite submitting detailed documentation of our religious practices, the DEA has actively worked to undermine our rights, leading us to pursue further legal action. This case underscores the broader conflict between drug regulation and religious freedom.

A Call for Financial Support

Facing this legal adversity, Soul Quest finds itself in a dire financial situation, jeopardizing our ability to continue our sacred practices. We are now reaching out to our community for donations to sustain our legal fight and protect our freedom of religion.

Impact of Your Support

Your financial contributions are crucial for securing the legal representation and resources needed to continue our battle. By supporting us, you're not just helping Soul Quest but also advocating for the broader plant medicine community and religious freedom nationwide.

Gratitude and Solidarity

We deeply appreciate your continued support and unity during this challenging time. Together, we can overcome this hurdle and maintain our role as a source of hope and healing.

Together, we stand on the brink of a pivotal moment in our collective journey. Let's ensure our voice is heard, our rights are protected, and our sacred practices can continue for generations to come.
