RSVPWednesday, June 3rd, 5 PM EDT
Water Protectors at Standing Rock, drawing from long traditions of resistance, used Indigenous sovereignty and mutual aid networks based on kinship as bulwarks against oil pipelines, state violence, and environmental colonialism. These two elements have helped shield Indigenous nations from the COVID-19 pandemic, but as the fossil fuel industry exploits the crisis to expand pipeline projects renewed struggle is more vital than ever.
Join Nick Estes and Kim Tallbear for a virtual teach-in on what lessons today’s activists can learn from these traditions of resistance.
