To support the fight to save the Indian Child Welfare Act (and so much more), donate to @lakotalaw. These folks fight for the rights of Native children and to keep Native children in Native homes. They also work to defend Native land. lakotalaw.org/our-actions/lp…
The Native Organizers Alliance is a training and organizing network dedicated to building the capacity of Native tribes, traditional societies, and community groups to make transformational change. I believe in these folks. You can donate here: nativeorganizing.org

My own people, the Menominee, are organizing against a proposed mine that would destroy our sacred sites and poison our water. Last month I delivered protest signs made by Chicago youth that will be used by our ppl in the next protest. You can help here: gofundme.com/menominee-nati… 
I know there are a lot of worthy causes out there, but on this day, it really feels appropriate to me for folks to drive some resources toward Native people. This list is just a sampling of what you can do to help. Our people are up against a lot. Your solidarity matters.
