** We need YOU to continue our work in 2020!
------------------------------------------------------------

We are so grateful for your ongoing generous support. Cultural Survival is committed to amplifying Indigenous voices and promoting Indigenous women's and Indigenous youth leadership around the world. We need your partnership.

For over 47 years, Cultural Survival has been working to advance Indigenous Peoples rights and cultures worldwide. We believe that Indigenous media is an exercise of self-determination, contributes to the strengthening of Indigenous languages, and helps in building gender equality.

This is what your donation did in 2019:

As part of their self-determination process, Zapatista communities in Chiapas, Mexico, have set up more than a dozen radio stations which are broadcasting about their struggles and the rights of the local Maya Peoples in Tzeltal, Tsotsil, Tojolabal and Cho languages. With a grant from Cultural Survival's Community Media Program, the stations began to train people, especially women, from their communities not only in locution, but also in the technical management of the radios, including the use of computers and digital systems, the construction of antennas and transmitters, as well as in radio production. All this with the goal that stations will receive technical support in an increasingly sustainable way, without relying on the acquisition of expensive commercial equipment and the assistance of external technicians who tend to significantly raise operational costs.

In 2019, our Community Media Grants Project funded 35 Indigenous media projects in 9 countries, totaling $210,000, strengthening Indigenous languages and promoting freedom of expression. But the need and demand is much, much greater!

With your help, we can continue our mission advancing Indigenous rights in 2020. A gift of $50 ([link removed]) goes a long way in supporting Indigenous communities around the globe!

Our Board of Directors have challenged us to match all and any gifts through December 31, 2019, up to $40,000! ([link removed])
We have raised $22,280 so far!

Together, we can continue to support Indigenous communities around the globe to organize and defend their lands, cultures, spiritual traditions, artistic expressions, languages and self-determination.
Give Now! ([link removed])
With Gratitude and Wishes for Peace for 2020,
Galina Angarova (Buryat)
Executive Director
