Rethinking Thanksgiving: Dismantling Colonial Myths, Uplifting Indigenous Rights and Honoring Mother Earth

by Showing up for Racial Justice

This event aims to celebrate the victories of Indigenous Peoples, while confronting the ongoing impact of genocide and ecocide tied to settler colonialism and the military-industrial complex from Turtle Island to Palestine.

In the face of fascism, we reject the trap of despair. Together, we will root ourselves in Indigenous sovereignty, self-determination, resistance and solidarity with all oppressed Peoples and communities working to build resilience against the current climate catastrophe and systemic injustices.

This is an opportunity to reflect on how communities and individuals can support Indigenous Peoples and the vital role of Mother Earth Rights in our collective future. Link to sign up for our bio.
