Calling my non-Saami followers, non-Finnish followers, #NativeTwitter, any and all journalists, anyone watching.

Prime minister @MarinSanna has, in spite of the pleads from the indigenous Saami people, not yet brought the Saami Parliament Act to parliament.

Please help us. 🧵

@MarinSanna Time is running out in a matter of days.

If the prime minister @MarinSanna does not resist the racist misinformation perpetuated by the Finnish Centre Party @keskusta, the law that would secure Saami self-representation will fall through for the third consecutive time.

@MarinSanna @keskusta If this happens, Finland's supposedly feminist, pro-human rights goverment will have given its stamp of approval to the ongoing, years-long rights violation against the Saami.

By giving non-Saami settlers the right to vote in Saami elections and make decisions on behalf of and against the indigenous people, it will be clear that Finland's campaign to hybrid influence an autonomous indigenous parliament is, indeed, intentional.

Please help us.

Tag the prime minister @MarinSanna.
Tag a journalist.
Tag a media, a local one, a national one, a global one.

Pressure from the international community is the only thing that has provoked any kind of reaction from our image-conscious state leaders.

@MarinSanna Please let them know, you too are watching. Please let us know, we are not alone.

And if the law does fail for the third time, please remember us in the years to come, as we watch an indigenous parliament crumble at the hands of settlers and pretendians.
