Friend—

On this Indigenous People’s Day we wish you happiness and health. But we do so burdened with the knowledge that Indigenous People throughout the Americas continue to face oppression of their land, their bodies and their culture at the hands of racist, colonialist regimes.

Three years ago, we were proud that our Green Party nominees for president and vice-president, Dr. Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka, participated in civil disobedience at Standing Rock in allyship with the water and climate protectors blocking the Dakota Access Pipeline. A rallying cry of the #NoDAPL movement was “Water Is LIFE!” In 2019, Indigenous People are facing a nightmare of fire and death as the Amazon forest burns. They face harsh desert, a militarized border and festering cages as the U.S. government persecutes them for seeking asylum.

The Green Party’s candidates and platform are a testament to our commitment to justice for Indigenous People everywhere. Will you give $25 or more today so we can continue building the power needed to break the duopoly cartel’s exploitation of Indigenous People and their lands? Will you donate now so we have the resources to support candidates from Indigenous communities and finalize the formation of an Indigenous Caucus within our National Committee? <[link removed]>

Indigenous communities have fought on the front lines against extractive, destructive capitalism for as long as there has been capitalism. It’s only in recent decades that beneficiaries of colonialism have come to realize this capitalist system threatens the biosphere we all depend on. And so the Eco-Socialist transformation we seek not only requires breaking the government’s centuries-long domination of Indigenous People, but making space for Indigenous People to lead in the fight to save our species from self-inflicted environmental catastrophe.

There is no other national party in the United States that matches the Green Party’s record of solidarity with Indigenous People, but we have a long way to go and much to learn. Please give today to support that work and we will keep fighting for justice and liberation for all. <[link removed]>

Happy Indigenous People’s Day

p.s. Organizing in front-line communities takes planning, training and resources. Done carelessly, it can re-victimize oppressed people and deepen distrust. Will you become a Monthly Sustainer today for $10 per month —or whatever you can afford— to build the Green Party as an electoral voice for Indigenous People? <[link removed]>
