Not one more stolen relative. Our hearts our heavy here at NIWRC after this Nat'l Day of Awareness for #MMIWG, but we will not stop the fight to protect our people.

Thank you to @_RisingHearts @_NativeInLA for organizing the virtual Running for Justice!

Your ignorance & racism, is continuing to perpetuate the erasure of myself, Native communities, our ancestors & the long history of violence & injustice we have experienced.

We existed long before settler colonialism. We didn’t need saving.

WE ARE NOT COSTUMES

Interested in understanding cultural appropriation, the harmful narratives of Pocahontas, the “PocaHottie” Halloween costume and how it hypersexualizes Native women & it’s connection to #mmiw - sign up!

Black and Indigenous voice are not missing from curriculum.
They were erased.
There is a difference.

Seeing a Native woman or relative on the cover of these platforms when I was little was all I wanted to see & now, I get to have this opportunity!

Lila Wopila tanka @trailrunnermag for this opportunity of representation, tradition, prayer and visibility of Indigenous people.

New: LMPD Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly (who is being investigated as part of Breonna Taylor’s case) sent an email to around 1,000 officers at 2am that calls protestors thugs, complains about the government enforcing civil rights violations, and claims this is "good versus evil”

[Jordan @_NativeInLA]

Let’s play a game: Whose land are you on?

📍I’m on Ohlone and Ramaytush, Chochenyo & Karkin (East Bay) and Yokuts (South Bay) lands which is also known as San Francisco, CA / Bay Area.

I was taking care of a patient the other day who was very seriously injured. And I stepped out to talk to his family briefly and give them an update. For context, he was Black. I told them what was going on quickly and asked if they had any questions. And this is what they said.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

John believed that in all of us, there exists the capacity for great courage and a longing to do what’s right. We are so lucky to have had him show us the way. I offered some thoughts today on his life and how, like him, we can give it all we have. https://t.co/7UHT86OzEj

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

A taser is not a deadly weapon. A gun is.

Adrenaline and irritation are not the same as mortal fear.

Running away should not be punishable by death.

Public safety must mean the public is safe. All of us.

TEAR DOWN racist, glorifying statues of white supremacists.

RENAME football teams (@Redskins @NFL), sports teams, schools, street names, trails & geographical locations.

REMOVE racist & derogatory imagery of Indigenous & Black relatives.

DISMANTLE white supremacy & racism.

[José @josecanyousee]

Rand Paul tried to lecture Black lawmakers on the definition of lynching. Kamala Harris delivered her response. I was going to take a snippet from the 7 minutes to highlight but I couldn’t. The entire speech is powerful and one that’ll go down in history.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Like so many of you, I’m pained by these recent tragedies. And I’m exhausted by a heartbreak that never seems to stop. Right now it’s George, Breonna, and Ahmaud. Before that it was Eric, Sandra, and Michael. It just goes on, and on, and on.

[Jordan @_NativeInLA]

Speechless 😭🥰

Lululemon saw me after my #MMIW prayer run at the 2019 Boston Marathon - supported me for 9 months before I became a Run Ambassador Athlete. This is for all Indigenous athletes & relatives.

This is a visual message for our next generations. This is you. ✊🏽🏃🏽‍♀️

#Project100 steps in where antiquated govt systems are failing our poorest workers at the time of their greatest need. As founder of @The_SEAP, I co-authored this oped on why the https://t.co/gfNblWQBC8 solution is needed. We can’t solve what we refuse to face, but we can fix it.
