Global Exchange

Today we honor centuries of resistance and survival, and we commit to action: returning land, paying land tax, defending sacred sites, uplifting Indigenous leadership, amplifying voices too often erased and celebrating Indigenous joy and resilience.

As part of Climate Week in NYC, the North American Indigenous Center, the People’s Movement Indigenous Platform, Global Exchange, and The New School are proud to host a powerful panel conversation with Indigenous leaders.

Please join us—and help spread the word!

This week, the Supreme Court overturned a lower court ruling that had barred the Trump Administration from using racial profiling in immigration enforcement.

Unchecked power threatens both justice and the future of our freedoms. We must protect our community members, show up, and speak out.

Join us tomorrow!
