Thank you to @puebloactionalliance for their support and care during our time together, side by side, at the #PeopleVsFossilFuels action. Thank you @puebloactionalliance for making space for csvanw to march at the front line down the streets of Washington DC to demand the end to fossil fuels, call for urgent climate change & help bring awareness on our message of how extractive industries bring violence into our communities and contribute to violence against Native Women, children, 2SLGBTQ+ and #MMIW #MMIWG #MMIR #MMIWG2S

For #DVAM2021 we are turning up the heat on our call to action from last year, No Survivor Justice without Racial Justice. This October and beyond, the Domestic Violence Awareness Project (#DVAP) calls on the domestic violence movement to center, celebrate, and follow the leadership of Black survivors, leaders, advocates, and frontline workers. Read more on DVawareness.org (link in bio). 💜

October is nationally proclaimed as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. 4 out of 5 American Indian and Alaskan Native women experienced violence in their lifetime. This includes sexual violence, physical violence by an intimate partner and at least half (48.8 %) have experienced stalking and 66% have experienced psychological aggression by an intimate partner. Overall, more than 1.5 million American Indian Women and Alaskan Native Women have experienced violence in their lifetime.

Many of the advocates I support are survivors with lived experience who broke cycles for themselves and their children. We want to live in peace and harmony with families and we want to see our survivors live happily and safely. We each come from our own tribal communities carrying medicine and prayers for all.

This month the Advocate Coordinator Tiffany Jiron and college Intern, Kwani Cortes want to honor our cycle breakers. This work requires advocates to work around the clock and on call, even through a pandemic we never gave up hope. Our indigenous families need you most during these times, thank you for your commitment to ending the cycles of domestic violence. #advocatesareessesntialworkers #BreakCyclesBuildGens #HonorCycleBreakers #breakthesilence

As we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day in October, Purpose endeavors to deepen our understanding of Indigenous history and to activate our opportunity to learn and do more. How can we make sure we're respecting traditions and advancing justice and equity with our storytelling and campaign approaches?
In a panel discussion hosted by Purpose, members of the Voices cohort working with Indigenous communities will share their experiences and lessons about storytelling practices and how these insights can be applied across co-creation initiatives. The session will feature Arrowhead Business Group, Three Sisters Kitchen, Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women, Partners for Rural Transformation, Fahe, and Oweesta.

Land Acknowledgments Meant to Honor Indigenous People Too Often Do the Opposite

"Land acknowledgments state that activities are taking place on land previously owned by Indigenous peoples. They’re popular—but they may harm more than they heal, say three anthropologists."

Native groups protest fossil fuels in Washington, D.C.

Members of the New Mexico Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW) traveled to participate in the protest that began on Indigenous People’s Day in front of the White House to demand that President Joe Biden declare a climate emergency and end fossil fuel production. Many Native leaders from around the country are participating in the week-long protest.

Angel Charley, Laguna Pueblo and executive director of CSVANW, told NM Political Report from the nation’s capital that “we don’t necessarily think of extractive industries as a violence against women issue.”

“It’s a connection folks aren’t making. We know that where these industries exist, there’s a heightened rate of sexual violence against Native American women, especially in the Dakotas in the Bakken region,” Charley said.

Native American groups have been protesting fossil fuel production this week in Washington, D.C., in order to help shine a light on the connection between fossil fuel extraction and violence agains…

For our #IWillRunForThem 5K we ask relatives to share who they are running for & why. By asking to share their story, we effectively ask them to connect their action of movement to their community. & it is through this connection we begin process of healing. #DVAM2021

Yesterday, our team provided an informational booth at the Reunity Resources in O'ga P'ogeh that Three Sisters Collective organized for Indigenous People's Day celebration. Thank you Three Sisters Collective for inviting us and allowing us to have important discussions with visitors at our booth. We had an amazing opportunity to hear a powerful poem/reading from Dr. Christina M. Castro and other great entertainers. It was a wonderful day on the farm with indigenous relatives!

On this day, Indigenous Peoples Day, our team at the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW) stand with the People vs Fossil Fuels as we march the streets of Washington D.C. because we know that for Native American women in the United States, it is not a matter of if she will experience violence in her lifetime, but rather, a matter of when.   

Extractive Industries have devastating impacts on our communities, what is done to the land is done to the people and our bodies. These industries bring violence into our communities and contribute to the ongoing epidemic of Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women (MMIW). The Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW) is ready to stand with those wanting to end the violence of fossil fuels.  

Our communities need meaningful and sustained investments in survivor care to address the collective trauma of colonization that has, for generations, disrupted our way of life through which healthy relationships were nurtured and sustained by our People. 

The social position that Indigenous Peoples find ourselves in today is an outcome of both the internalization of practices of colonial violence and the ongoing violence of the colonial state against our people. We know violence against women is a consequence of, and serves to perpetuate, ongoing systemic inequity. 

Because of this, we at the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW) are dedicated to seeing the full tribal provisions within VAWA Reauthorization Act remain intact. Provisions that would expand protections for survivors of sexual violence, child abuse, stalking, and trafficking. We know these are real ways to make our communities safer.   

We urge all members within the senate, and senate leadership to work toward creating a version of the bill with ALL the tribal provisions intact.

On this day, Indigenous Peoples Day, our team at the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW) stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the People vs Fossil Fuels as we march the streets of Washington D.C. because we know that for Native American women in the United States, it is not a matter of if she will experience violence in her lifetime, but rather, a matter of when.

Extractive Industries have devastating impacts on our communities, what is done to the land is done to the people and our bodies. These industries bring violence into our communities and contribute to the ongoing epidemic of Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women (MMIW). The Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW) is ready to stand with those wanting to end the violence of fossil fuels.

But ending the exploitative practices of extractive industries is just one step in protecting Native American women in the United States. Beyond this, our communities need meaningful and sustained investments in survivor care to address the collective trauma of colonization that has, for generations, disrupted our way of life through which healthy relationships were nurtured and sustained by our People.

The social position that Indigenous Peoples find ourselves in today is an outcome of both the internalization of practices of colonial violence and the ongoing violence of the colonial state against our people. We know violence against women is a consequence of, and serves to perpetuate, ongoing systemic inequity.

Because of this, we at the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW) are dedicated to seeing the full tribal provisions within VAWA Reauthorization Act remain intact. Provisions that would expand protections for survivors of sexual violence, child abuse, stalking, and trafficking. We know these are real ways to make our communities safer.

This legislative session, we have an opportunity to strengthen the legacy of the 2013 Violence Against Women Act. The groundwork has been laid and lessons have been learned from those most impacted by violence. Now is a moment to do better for our Native women.

We urge all members within the senate, and senate leadership to work toward creating a version of the bill with ALL the tribal provisions intact.

We are deeply grateful for those who support the safety of Native women as well as those who choose to support CSVANW specifically in our work to create violence-free communities. We work towards fulfilling our mission by receiving support from folks who are committed to ending gender-based violence- which includes you. Together, we do more.
