This month's calls to action features four different sections. Indigenous Peoples' Day events, Sustainability in practice events and workshops, social justice events and some Climate Strike events (full/updated list here - https://www.youthunited4climatecrisisaction.org/). INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' DAY  In March of 2019, our State Legislature finally made Indigenous Peoples' Day a state holiday on the second Monday of October! Columbus day is officially off the books. Read the legislation here. This legislation follows years and years of organizing work from Indigenous Peoples' and allies. Santa Fe and Albuquerque adopted Indigenous People's day a few years before 2019 thanks to organizations like The Red Nation, UNM Kiva Club, Tewa Women United, Three Sisters Collective and many many more! Below are some local celebrations and demonstrations - check them out! And then donate to Indigenous led organizations and educate yourself on the history of the land we stand on and what you can do to be an accomplice in the struggle for liberation.  Native Land Map - Access Here Zinn Education Project Indigenous Peoples' History for educators -Access Here The Red Nation Blog and Newsletter - Access Here Indigenous Ally Toolkit from Montreal Urban Aboriginal Community Strategy Network- Access Here OCTOBER 12-14 at Downtown Santa Fe Indigenous Peoples' Day 2019 - Santa Fe MONDAY OCTOBER 14 9:00-1:00 PM at Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, 2401 12th St NW, ABQ, NM Indigenous Peoples' Day 2019 - ABQ LEARN MORE & RSVP HERE MONDAY OCTOBER 14 5:30-8:30 PM at 1st & Central Indigenous Peoples' Day 2019 - ABQ On this #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we call on all those who oppose ICE raids, family separation, deportations, and incarceration to unite against the racist persecution of Indigenous and poor people by the United States.It is time to say, “¡Basta Ya!” Enough is enough! In concert with a national call to action issued by the Coalition to Close the Concentration Camps (closetheconcentrationcamps.org), #TheRedNation will lead an #IPD2019 rally and march in solidarity with our Indigenous, refugee, and migrant relatives who are being brutalized, caged, and killed by the US government. We demand that the US government #CloseTheCamps and #LetEveryonein.Better yet, we demand the US government cede power to the Indigenous nations who possess rightful political authority in these lands. The United States has no authority on stolen land. However, we as Indigenous peoples and nations of these lands, reclaim our authority to determine the criteria for citizenship and belonging. And we say: #NoBansOnStolenLands #NoCampsOnStolenLands #NoBordersOnStolenLands#SovereigntyAsSanctuary LEARN MORE & RSVP HERE CLIMATE STRIKE!

The clock is ticking, and stops for no one.We are striking because if the social order is disrupted by our refusal to attend school, then the system is forced to face the climate crisis and enact change. With our futures at stake, we call for urgent legislative action to combat climate change and its countless detrimental effects on the American people. It is time we take a stand, and demand action from our nation and world’s leaders.We are striking because marginalized communities across our nation —especially Indigenous communities, disabled communities, and low-income communities— are already disproportionately impacted by climate change.HIGH SCHOOL WALKOUTS:Walkouts will begin at 12pm, students along with adult allies will convene on Robinson Park at 1pm before marching shortly after. CLIMATE ACTION FAIR:Students & adults of all ages are invited to learn how to get involved in the climate emergency movement, take action, and to join local artists, poets, musicians, anytime between 12:30pm and 5pm for our "Climate Action Fair" sponsored by local community organizations and full of fun, safe, and engaging ways you can help combat the crisis!
