we are currently facing a massive shortage of groceries/ supplies across the navajo nation due to lack of infrastructure, hoarding + some price gouging. while it’s only a minor inconvenience for some, it presents a dangerous situation for others. https://twitter.com/canoecanoa/status/1240392563212902400?s=21 https://twitter.com/canoecanoa/status/1240392563212902400
i’ve been emphasizing support for our elders but young children, who’ve had school cancelled for weeks, also face the terrible risk of food insecurity; “hot zone” communities especially. educational orgs donating resources, supplies, etc. to navajo communities is appreciated.
“Within the last 2 days, there has been a 40.8% increase in cases/day. If we don’t comply with the advice of health care and pandemic experts to stay home and isolate, we will continue to see greater and greater increases in confirmed cases on the Navajo Nation.”

thank you to @shotheekwe for putting this together! this call out to settler allies is an important one. not only are you living on stolen land, you have multiple layers of privilege. if you have the means, be a good ally and support native folks. https://twitter.com/shotheekwe/status/1243356570613764096
