Thread by @MsKellyMHayes

Every year I invite people who are celebrating the colonial holiday to do something in support of Native people. Between the hyper-criminalization of Water Protectors and attacks on Native families, sovereignty & voting rights, this is a crucial time for our communities. (THREAD)

This thread is a list of groups & fellow Indigenous organizers I will be supporting today & I invite you all to join me. First, the Line 3 Legal Defense Fund provides support to people facing arrest, jail time & repression bc of their opposition to Line 3. line3legalfund.com

Woodland Women is a group that offers mutual support and healing for women on my reservation. They hold community talking circles, practice mutual aid, offer free beading classes and share Menominee cultural knowledge. I love them. paypal.com/paypalme/Woodl…

The Indian Child Welfare Act is under attack, which threatens Native families, Native sovereignty and much more. @NativeChildren helps to protect Native children and keep them connected to their families, community and culture. nicwa.org/donate-online/

Indigenous friends and co-strugglers of mine will be among those assisting elders of Winnemucca Indian Colony in Northern Nevada who are fighting unlawful demolitions and evictions. Material support is needed for the winter.
