The Circle may be over but the workshops are coming up! 

It’s time to sign up!!

This has been a time of organizing. We are moving from our deep roots in community to challenge the status quo. We are building systems that work for our people. We are imagining a different way. 
 

It has been a time of reckoning. 

Covid-19 has magnified the disparities and injustices of our world. Specifically, the ways that Black, Indigenous, People of Color, chronically ill and disabled people experience higher levels of violence, housing insecurity, and job discrimination. We continue to lose people to white supremacy: 

Nina Pop

Breonna Taylor

Ahmaud Arbey

There is a missing and murdered indigenous women’s epidemic. 

Capitalism and white supremacy will attempt to make us forget this time and return to a disconnection from each other and the earth. 

We cannot and will not return to a normal that devalues people and planet. 

“We can impose beauty on our future.”
–Lorraine Hansberry 

Instead, let’s make a promise, a commitment to honor community. For those of us with privileges it’s a time to risk comfort,  #share your check.

Together, we can be a part of community-based solutions, be a part of the radical imagination. As Lorraine Hansberry stated, we can impose beauty on our future.

Join us for a deepened understanding of economic downturns and solidarity economy. What we do now matters.

INDIGI-AID – Helping All Our Relatives @ online
Jun 11 @ 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Indigi-Aid, a live-stream event benefiting indigenous communities as a response to the Covid-19 crisis, will take place Thursday, June 11th from 5 to 9 pm eastern time. Artists and musicians from diverse indigenous and other communities around the United States will offer songs, dance, and storytelling.

As the Coronavirus has ravaged the Indigenous communities and threatened to inflict severe health casualties in Navajoland and many other Indigenous Nations, the Indigenous Ministries of the Episcopal Church has partnered with the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Michigan and scores of many Episcopal communities to raise money for food, basic need items, water, and medical supplies to aid our Indigenous communities across the Episcopal Church.

In addition to the performances, we ask our friends to share a 15 to 30-second message of hope and support to our Indigenous communities with the hashtag #indigi-aid. You can message us your support short support video.

Jun 14 @ 4:00 pm

Net of Light/The Grandmothers Speak | 2106 Shelter Bay Ave., Mill Valley, CA 94941

During these changing times we are living in, we will come together in non-traditional ways to share the Grandmothers’ messages.

 

These Online teachings will be held on a regular bi-weekly basis, starting this Sunday (June 14).

 

The Grandmothers want us to know how vitally important each of us is, as we anchor the Net of Light where we live.

 

The Grandmothers say, “No one comes to this work unless we call them,” so, if they are calling you, join us.

 

Many more are being called into this work in these times, and we fully embrace all who step forward through this online medium.

The UPSTANDER PROJECT presents: @ online
Jun 16 @ 8:00 pm
Dawnland And Dear Georgina live screening on June 16
For decades, child welfare authorities have been removing Native American children from their homes to save them from being Indian. In Maine, the first official “truth and reconciliation commission” in the United States begins a historic investigation. Dawnland goes behind-the-scenes as this historic body grapples with difficult truths, redefines reconciliation, and charts a new course for state and tribal relations.

THE UPSTANDER PROJECT

Adam Mazo & Mishy Lesser Upstander Project Co-Founders <adam@upstanderproject.org>

There is a long and steep road that we must climb together if we want to ensure that Black Lives truly matter in the U. S. and elsewhere. We would like to walk with you on this essential journey.
Upstander Project is here to offer films, learning resources, and workshops so we can all learn about the history and contemporary reality of the place called the United States. If your inbox is like ours, it is bursting with beautifully curated lists of essential resources on how to be an anti-racist with a focus on African American history and current reality. To offer an Indigenous perspective, we share this list of anti-racist resources curated by our dear friend and colleague, Claudia Tekina’ru Fox Tree.
Black Lives are Sacred by Afro-Indigenous artist Paige Pettibon (Salish)

In Dear Georgina a Passamaquoddy elder journeys into an unclear past to better understand herself and her cultural heritage.
On June 16th, five years after the Maine-Wabanaki Truth Commission concluded, join special guest, Truth Commissioner Sandy White Hawk (Sicangu Lakota) along with filmmaker Adam Mazo, producer Tracy Rector (Choctaw/Seminole) and Upstander Project learning director Mishy Lesser for a Q & A moderated by Claudia Tekina’ru Fox Tree (Arawak/Yurumein) following the films.
