"On this day, I remember the struggle of indigenous women within their territories and the fight for our land. May we remain firm in the struggle and resistance for better days for all."
– Brazilian Congresswoman Joenia Wapichana

"We hosted a historic delegation of congresswomen from Brazil last week to create a network of women working in solidarity to protect our environment and fight for human rights globally. I'm so grateful for these fierce women."
– US Congresswoman Deb Haaland

------

During International Women's Day weekend, Brazil's Bolsonaro met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Their meeting came right on the heels of a delegation that included Brazilian Congresswoman Joenia Wapichana at the invitation of US Congresswoman Deb Haaland, both of whom are the first indigenous women elected to congress in their respective countries.

There has never been a more urgent time to support and highlight indigenous leaders like Congresswomen Wapichana and Haaland, who are the antitheses of Trump and Bolsonaro. The Brazilian president recently delivered a blatantly racist speech in which he stated that indigenous people, "are becoming human beings just like us."

Joenia Wapichana is part of a large and growing movement of indigenous women who are building people power to defend and protect the environment, advance indigenous and women's rights, and address climate change.
