This event celebrates 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. The event is organized through the Indigenous Solidarity Network.

According to Catalyst, “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.

“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.”
