A Town Hall on Indigenous Rights, Sovereignty, and Self Determination
November is American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month, a time to celebrate rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories and to acknowledge the important contributions of Indigenous People. As we learned from Dr. Connie Wun of AAPI Women Lead, we understand anti-Asian racism is made possible by anti-Blackness and anti-Indigeneity. In our effort to advance justice and liberation, we must center Indigenous rights, sovereignty and self determination.
Live ASL interpretation, Caption services, Transcription and graphic facilitation will be provided.
