If you are celebrating the colonial holiday, please consider also doing something helpful for Native people this weekend. There are a lot of great Native people, groups and orgs that deserve more support than they get. Here are a few that I recommend. (THREAD)
If you would like to contribute to the @IWRising abortion fund, which provides assistance to Indigenous people seeking abortion care in the US and Canada you can do so here: https://www.iwrising.org/abortion-fund ">https://www.iwrising.org/abortion-...
. @Chi_Nations is a diverse group of Native youth w a mission to raise awareness of Native cultural identity. I did some education work alongside them this yr at a children& #39;s event about colonization and climate change & was mad impressed. To support them: https://www.paypal.me/janiepochel?fbclid=IwAR1p55VLKz9HySxubcqbBFZ5Gs_sskEuXOy_aImt0EOTYt9OHc2SWJ5gmhw">https://www.paypal.me/janiepoch...
To support the fight to save the Indian Child Welfare Act (and so much more), donate to @lakotalaw. These folks fight for the rights of Native children and to keep Native children in Native homes. They also work to defend Native land. http://lakotalaw.org/our-actions/lplp-donate">https://lakotalaw.org/our-actio...
Another great option is the Native American Food Sovereignty Alliance. NAFSA is dedicated to restoring, supporting and developing Indigenous food systems and ensuring food security for future generations. https://nativefoodalliance.org/donate-now/ ">https://nativefoodalliance.org/donate-no...
With Native voting rights under threat, this is a good time to support @4directionsvote. Their organizers are committed to the full enfranchisement of Native people. To fight Native voter suppression, you can donate here: http://fourdirectionsvote.com/donation/ ">https://fourdirectionsvote.com/donation/...
My own people, the Menominee, are organizing against a proposed mine that would destroy our sacred sites and poison our water. You can help here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/menominee-nation-noback40-mine-fund">https://www.gofundme.com/f/menomin...
If you want to support my work (and help pay my damn medical bills), I wouldn& #39;t argue with that either. http://paypal.me/puffthehater ">https://paypal.me/pufftheha...
If you want to support one of the Native youth who helped launch the Standing Rock protests, who is now working to put himself through college, you can do that here: http://PayPal.me/WhiteEyes ">https://PayPal.me/WhiteEyes...
To support an O’odham land defender & mom who& #39;s lending direct support at a border resistance camp (who will need travel funds to return home to her family, where she will continue her work against border militarization):

I know from past fundraising efforts that if I try to thank you all individually, this app will interpret those thanks as spam and suspend my account lol, so please just know that I see and appreciate you and I love hearing from ppl who& #39;ve contributed. Y& #39;all rock.
Shout out to everyone who& #39;s donated and everyone who& #39;s helping to circulate this thread! These donations are going to make a real difference in people& #39;s lives and I am so heartened by all of the solidarity and mutual aid folks are extending.

I& #39;ve received a bunch of excited thank yous from people in this thread who you all have helped out. I& #39;m so grateful & they are too. I hope that more folks who haven& #39;t donated yet decide to be part of this over the weekend bc it& #39;s a beautiful thing & y& #39;all have done so much good.
I just talked to someone from @Chi_Nations and they& #39;ve received over $2K in donations from y& #39;all over the past two days. For a small grassroots org like theirs, that& #39;s huge. I& #39;m hoping they see a few more donations this weekend. Thank you all for supporting Native youth. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥️" title="Heart suit" aria-label="Emoji: Heart suit">
Y& #39;all have raised $15K in abortion care funds for @IWRising! They fund abortion care for Indigenous ppl in need in both the U.S. and Canada, so every penny of this money is needed and will be put to good use. I& #39;m so grateful to everyone who& #39;s joined these efforts. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥️" title="Heart suit" aria-label="Emoji: Heart suit">
