NDN Live: Black and Indigenous Solidarity a #StopCopCity Teach-In. Chebon Kernell and Kamau Franklin twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Marty from NDN Collective interviews @kamaufranklin, the founder of @CommunityMvt and relative Mekko Chebon, Muscogee Creek Nation, Seminole to discuss the #StopCopCity movement and key demands.
@kamaufranklin at @CommunityMvt addresses both the local and global implications of #CopCity, “We say no to cop city because it’s a militarized police base which is going to harm our communities and harm our movements.”

#NoCopCity on #StolenLands
“My hope is that people can hear the voices of our Muscogee community, of Indigenous Peoples saying this is not how we existed. And in fact, our time here in these homelands proves that there is a better way to exist” ~ Mekko Chebon (Muscogee, Seminole)
Mekko Chebon shares the historical context of the Weelaunee Forest in Atlanta, GA, “This particular forest was apart of lands that were illegally signed over in an illegal treaty with the state of Georgia.” #NoCopCity on #StolenLands

.#StopWillow Update : As of today, March 7, 2023, the Biden Administration has not officially approved the Willow Project. However, the "Record of Decision" could be announced any moment now. So in the meantime, here are THREE ACTIONS you can take in this critical moment.
1. AMPLIFY these two letters from the Alaskan Native Villages of Nuiqsut & Anaktuvuk Pass! Both Tribes have written to @Interior to state their opposition to Willow & have asked for stronger consultation. Find both letters here: ndnco.cc/CPINLFN & ndnco.cc/WPTTCH
2. Sign this petition to tell @POTUS to #StopWillow ! So far this petition has garnered over 3 million signatures. Lets get it to 4M ! change.org/p/joseph-r-bid…

Local #Atlanta Interfaith Clergy holds a Press Conference to demand Mayor Andre Dickens #StopCopCity. The #ATL police are stating "outside agitators" are against this $90M project but that is a lie. Local residents of #ATL "do not want Cop City."
🧵 We heard the Interfaith Clergy loud and clear: "We don't want more policing and terrorizing of Black, Brown, and Indigenous bodies in our community." #StopCopCity
✊"All of this is a fight over land, which white people have been wagging since the beginning of time." #Landback #StopCopCity #Solidarity

🚨 Call-to-Action 🚨
President and CEO of NDN Collective, @NickTilsen, comes today with an urgent message to take action. He calls upon @POTUS to grant executive clemency to elder movement leader Leonard Peltier who tested positive for COVID-19 last Friday. #RiseUpForPeltier
Leonard Peltier (Anishinaabe & Dakota) has spent over 4 decades of his life behind bars for murder that he did not commit. Now, the prison system has failed to provide him adequate care & protection against #COVID19.
Peltier's story is the epitome of the systemic abuse that continues to target Indigenous people & Movement Leaders. #RiseUpForPeltier

Some context for our panel on Native Voting at @Netroots_Nation:

Demographically, there are 5.2 million Native Americans from the 2010 census. There are over 700 tribes in this country, 573+ federally recognized , over 200 state recognized tribes. #NN20
Tribal nations in aggregate are the 13th largest employer in the nation and we manage approximately 56 million acres of land held in trust by the U.S. Government. #NN20
Over the year there have been two Native American Presidential Forums where we brought together tribal leaders, citizens, political candidates to talk about issues of importance in Indian Communities, such as #MMIW , #ClimateChange, Media Representation. msnbc.com/all-in/watch/e…
