Indigenous land holds 80% of the Earth's biodiversity, and the world has a lot to learn from those who've worked and inhabited it for generations. At the same time, 75% of US homes that don’t have electricity are on reservations and Native communities. In the face of these inequities, Native folks on the rez like Janice Day (Hopi) hold the key to solving our climate crisis with green and sustainable solutions, passing down a model of Native sovereignty and innovation to future generations. Indigenous communities lead by example in sustainable solutions for a healthy planet. Solar is renewable, good for our planet, more sustainable, and healthier for our local communities.
In this week’s Climate Woke video, join our host Layel Camargo (@thechosenlyfe) as they travel to Arizona’s Hopi Reservation to meet with Indigenous women leaders to discuss the benefits of solar power in tribal communities, the growing need for sustainable solutions to private utility companies, and the ways we can learn from the resilience and deep wisdom of Indigenous peoples.
In partnership with @ndncollective and @nativerenewables.

There is no climate justice without labor justice! The exploitation of working people is connected to the destruction of our planet and our communities. But when we fight, we win.
Check out The Center For Cultural Power’s (@culturestrike ) #ClimateWoke video about labor, breaking down the impact of extractive economies on people and planet, and why we must work together towards climate and worker justice.

Living Our Power - 2019 CJA Member Convening
MG is a proud, proud member of the Climate Justice Alliance!
Check out this gorgeous video made by filmmaker John Acosta produced during the Climate Justice Alliance Member Convening in Albuquerque, NM. It dives into our theory of change, and introduces some of CJA's amazing members groups. We are really happy about how it came out.
The 2019 CJA Member Convening with the theme Living Our Power, was hosted by CJA member group SouthWest Organizing Project (SWOP). The convening intricately weaved together cultural organizing, transformative healing, deep relationship building, and honoring the leadership of communities of color and Indigenous Peoples in Environmental and Climate Justice, while simultaneously practicing self-governance and advancing strategy development of the alliance.

Episode 4 of @amrpodcast is up! Dr. Tallbear drops so many moments of 🔥 knowledge it’s incredible. Here’s just one!
🔉
+
On this episode we talk with the amazing, badass, super cool Dr. Kim Tallbear (Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate), who literally wrote the book on Native American DNA. We talk about the concept of “Native DNA,” the problems of ancestry DNA tests, challenges in these areas for Native communities moving forward, Elizabeth Warren, the politics of research in Indigenous communities, and offer potential alternatives for thinking about kinship as a marker of Native belonging rather than false promises of DNA.

Marijuana: The Gateway Plant to Urban Farming
"Sometimes the biggest change can start with just one little bud."
#FullHarvestFarm #OaklandGrown #Happy420
How do you build a radical black farm in the middle of East Oakland?
With a bold vision, an activist family...and the help of one small, stimulating green plant.
"...We say... what makes home is language + love + soil + story + sacredness -- the fact that we have paved over the possibility of a relationship to place- it's the cognitive concrete. We're quite clear we have to break the real concrete and get at the real soil if you want to break the cognitive concrete..." - Gopal with Vandana Shiva tonight
