It’s #BlackHistoryMonth! We celebrate the achievements of Black Americans & their significant role in shaping U.S. history. As Indigenous Women, we rise up & stand in solidarity in the fight for justice, equality & protecting Black lives. We must continue in this ongoing fight for our relatives.

January is Human Trafficking Prevention & Awareness Month. We must continue to push this crisis into the spotlight, as our relatives, the Mothers, Sisters, Daughters and more have been taken from us without warning and without action.

Today, we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr’s legacy in the civil rights movement! His words still ring true today. Did you know Dr. King also advocated for the rights of Native Americans, discussing the origins of racism in the U.S. in his book, β€œWhy We Can’t Wait?”

Decolonize Thanksgiving by spreading β€œTruthsgiving," to help teach its true history & acknowledge the atrocities of this colonial holiday. The truth cannot be hidden, erased nor ignored. Thank you to Sikowis N. for sharing more with us about the #Truthsgiving movement.

Last month, our Co-Founder/CEO, Gina Jackson, joined Where the Waters Meet Peacemaking Gathering in the Allegheny/Backbone Mountains!

"Being in circle with so many powerful women, movers, shakers, healers & those who are fighting for justice filled me with joy, laughter & deep medicine," said Gina.

#LatinaEqualPayDay isn’t just a reminder of today’s wage gapβ€”it’s a warning for the future. At the current pace, Latinas won’t reach pay equity with White men until 2160 for full-time, year-round workersβ€”and not until 2178 for all Latinas with earnings.

The time for change is now! #EqualPayDay
