As we call our representatives and take action it’s important to remember how empowering it is to also take time to connect to Nature in between these moments of unrest. By connecting to Nature can fortify our ability to thrive with greater energy to fight for equality.

Healing and Justice for BIPOC is intrinsically connected to Healing and Justice for Earth and Waters and must be at the forefront of everything.

In many ways this movement toward Rights for Nature is an indigenous understanding that has existed on all continents for thousands of years and continues to thrive. In today’s post — we celebrate legal strides made by these Sovereign Nations. No$úun Lóoviq to these tribes!

Giving Rights to Rivers is a first step.

Moving from a Rights based narrative to a duty of care based narrative is where we are going.

Every morning I say a few words over the first water and then I splash a little on my face and then a little on my 8 month old sons face. He makes a little exhilarated breath and then laughs. I'm hoping "thank you water, love you water" will be his first words :) — Sarah Natan
