Indigenous Climate Action is proud to announce a new, experimental initiative - Sovereignty in Action - where ICA awards grants to small, grassroots Indigenous-led groups and projects. This new initiative arises from the current pandemic, where ICA is prioritizing the health and safety of Indigenous Peoples, communities, and our staff.

ICA has been working to enact new processes to help support our Indigenous leaders to be able to heal, to work, and to live within the context of our hurting world. We came to a place where finally addressing this was not just the right thing to do, but the necessary thing to do.

In this piece, our Communications Director, Lindsey Bacigal, dives into the history of this racial slur and how it continues to affect Indigenous women.

ICA’s Executive Director, Eriel Deranger, made a courageous decision to take time away from climate justice work to ensure care for the health and wellbeing of her and her loved ones. This post speaks to the need for healing justice and how people can support this important work.

Our Executive Director, Eriel, is going on a sabbatical for a few months. Here is why she is going on this healing journey, in her words.

With deep respect and love, Indigenous Climate Action stands in solidarity with the global Black Lives Matter and Black Liberation movements, along with all of our Black and Indigenous relatives advocating to uplift Black voices, people, and rights.
