Cultural Survival supports youth around the globe who are striking this September 20, 2019 in a call for urgent action for the climate.
As one of its 5 core demands, the Youth Climate Strike Coalition urges Respect of Indigenous Land and Sovereignty. They call on legislators to:
- Honor the treaties protecting Indigenous lands, waters, and sovereignty by the immediate halt of all construction, leasing, and permitting for resource extraction, processing and infrastructure projects affecting or on Indigenous lands
- Recognize the Rights of Nature into law to protect our sacred ecosystems and align human law with natural law to ban resource extraction in defense of our environment and people
Join Cultural Survival at the Boston Climate Strike:
Young people and adult allies in Massachusetts are joining the global call to action on September 20th, 2019, and going on STRIKE! All are invited and encouraged to join us in Boston and kick off a week of climate actions around Massachusetts.
