Indigenous peoples' lands were the first to be impacted with colonization.

Indigenous peoples have been excluded or spoken for, as if they have been victims, when they are well-equipped to speak for themselves & share their experiences.
Add'l, little funding has gone to Indigenous peoples (~95% goes to white-led orgs).

#GreenNewDeal includes resolution that states a goal of obtaining "free, prior, & informed consent of Indigenous peoples for decisions that affect [them] & their traditional territories, honoring all treaties & agreements...& protecting & enforcing the sovereignty & land rights"
The Red Deal centers Native leaders & focuses on 4 key tenets:
1. What creates crisis cannot solve it
2. Change must come from below & move to the left
3. Politicians can't do what mass movements do
4. The climate convo must move from theory to action https://www.teenvogue.com/story/red-deal-indigenous-climate-plan-green-new-deal-red-nation

What is abolitionist #climatejustice? What is a world where ppl are safe & have resources to thrive?
Part of decolonizing is regaining our humanity.

@blackboikei asks us to think:
What could NYC look like without Rikers Island?
We need to realize the importance of & return the land to the Lenape ppl as one (of many) steps to take in prison abolition and decolonization.
