Dear Relatives,
We are excited to invite you to the kick-off rally for the THRIVE Act happening on Tuesday, March 16 at 7 pm ET. The Indigenous Environmental Network’s very own Ashley McCray Engle and Kaniela Ing from People’s Action will talk about what the THRIVE Act is, why we as Indigenous People need it, and how we are going to win.
WHAT: THRIVE Act Kick-Off Rally
WHEN: Tuesday, March 16 at 7pm ET/4pm PT!
WHERE: Remote - join the call from anywhere
Now that Congress has passed the ambitious COVID-19 American Rescue Plan relief package, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity during the first recess of the new Congress to demonstrate massive grassroots support for bold action focusing on climate, care, jobs, and justice for our people. We need recovery that works for all of us-- and that is exactly what the THRIVE Act will do.
Through resilience and coordinated efforts across Turtle Island, Indigenous People delivered great change in the last election. Now, in order to pass the THRIVE Act and solidify our victories, we will need all of your support. Activists, organizers and Indigenous Leaders from across the country will gather virtually for a kick-off rally on Tuesday at 4pm PT / 6pm CT / 7pm ET and learn how they can be a part of this unprecedented nation-wide fight for climate action, jobs and justice.
Can you join us?
If we seize this moment, we can continue to defend the sacred and build a just and green economy — we look forward to seeing you on Tuesday!
Your relatives at IEN,
