On July 14, we honor our non-binary relatives. Gender beyond the binary has always existed in Indigenous cultures. We uplift their truth, resilience, and healing. You are sacred, valid, and loved, today and every day. We see you. We support you.
Technology should be a tool for connection, not control. In native communities, tech abuse is a growing issue that often goes unseen. By raising awareness, reclaiming our digital spaces, and promoting online safety, we can protect our people and empower healing. #SafeTechSafeFutures #CycleBreakers
