Join SURJ and our partners for the sixth annual “Rethinking Thanksgiving” webinar on Sunday, November 23rd at 4 pm ET / 1 pm PT to deepen our commitment to dismantling colonial myths, uplifting Indigenous rights, and honoring Mother Earth. Indigenous-led movements can create a liberated future in these times of climate collapse and rising authoritarianism so we will uplift movements of Indigenous Peoples and confront the ongoing reality of genocide and ecocide, from Turtle Island to Palestine. Colonialism is the problem and solidarity is the answer.
Speakers include:
Eve Reyes-Aguirre (Izkaloteka Mexica Azteca), Indigenous rights advocate and organizer working for decolonization and land sovereignty, with Tonatierra.
Cindi Martin is an Anishinaabe Deaf woman from Red Lake Nation, raised in South Minneapolis. She is the Managing Director for Indigenous Interpreters Organization (IIO).
