Indigenous Climate Action se enorgullece de anunciar una nueva iniciativa experimental —«Sovereignty in Action»— en la que ICA concede subvenciones a pequeños grupos y proyectos de base dirigidos por indígenas. Esta nueva iniciativa surge a raíz de la actual pandemia, en la que ICA está dando prioridad a la salud y la seguridad de los pueblos indígenas, las comunidades y nuestro personal.

Over the summer, the ICA team and a student research partner completed a “Youth Needs Assessment” to identify the motivations and challenges faced by Indigenous youth engaged in climate and Indigenous rights advocacy work. The assessment is directing the future of our Youth Program to make it relevant to the needs, experiences and aspirations of Indigenous youth.

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.
