Indigenous leaders are bringing awareness to and fighting societal inj |
Dear Members of the Massachusetts Joint Committee on Education,
Cultural Survival is an Indigenous rights advocacy organization based in Cambridge, MA, since 1972. We urge you to support bill MA S291, An Act to Prohibit Native American Mascots by Public Schools in the Commonwealth, which will be heard on June 6, 2017.
Banning Native American Mascots is the right choice for the state of Massachusetts, which prides itself on being a respectful and safe state for people of all backgrounds and ethnicities, as well as a state that upholds human rights.
Trump’s decision to pull the United States out of the Paris Climate Agreement signals a complete disregard of human rights, Indigenous rights, climate justice, and the future of this planet in the interest of greed, wealth, acquisition, and the continued conquest of Mother Earth. Indigenous Peoples around the world will feel the impact. Cultural Survival strongly condemns the backing out of the agreement.
Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that we are headquartered on Massachusett land, in Cambridge, MA, and we thank the past, current, and future Indigenous stewards of this territory.
