We’ve recently added the following resources to our growing directory of organizations, activist toolkits, and articles of note:
Grandmothers for a Brighter Future

AWAKE—Calls to Action (a toolkit)
Developed by activists who participated in blocking the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock, this toolkit features many actions we can still take to support indigenous rights: “There are many ways that you can keep the spirit and lessons of Standing Rock at the forefront of our collective consciousness. Even though the Dakota Access Pipeline was constructed, this fight, this resistance and our commitment continues. Here are five ways that you can continue the fight and support Native and non-Native causes dedicated to addressing oppression, injustice, climate change and helping water protectors who need myriad forms of assistance.”
