HI ,
As the fight for justice and an end to systemic discrimination continues,
it is so important that we continue to call attention to the past and
ongoing abuse of Native Americans.
Today should not be called Columbus Day and we should not celebrate the
actions of a mass murderer.
This is exactly why we hope you will join us in instead calling this
holiday "Indigenous Peoples Day" as we speak out against the continued
exploitation of Indigenous People by governments and businesses who seek to
gain profits by denying these people their basic human rights and cultural
heritage (see Howie's and Angela's statement from today [4]).
The neoliberal system is continuing to wage war against Indigenous Peoples
around the world through land grabs, water privatization, and massively
destructive resource extraction. These people are forced into poverty with
extremely high rates of unemployment, cancer, and death by police.
With the COVID-19 pandemic, these communities have seen infection rates of
3.5 times the rest of the nation's population.
Furthermore, the blatant suppression of Indigenous voters seeks to continue
in Columbus' tradition of silencing their voices.
Photo ID and postal address requirements, needlessly complex processes, and
inaccessible locations for both mail-in and in-person voting are the tools
being used to prevent these people from being heard.
So it is our hope that on this Indigenous Peoples Day you will take a stand
to end the injustice against Indigenous People.
We are the only campaign that is presenting 100% SUSTAINABLE ENERGY
SOLUTIONS that stop the wholesale destruction of our planet and Indigenous
lands.
We are the only campaign that is introducing an Economic Bill of Rights to
GUARANTEE AN END TO THE POVERTY AND ILLNESS being suffered by Indigenous
People.
And we are the only campaign that is calling on the government to MAKE
REPARATIONS for the centuries of unfair and illegal treatment of Native
Americans starting with the RETURN OF ILLEGALLY-SEIZED LAND.
