We stand in solidarity with the spuyaləpabš/Puyallup, dxʷsqʷaliʔabš/Nisqually, Coast Salish, and all Indigenous people. Indigenous people have stewarded these lands since the beginning of time and continue to do so today. We uplift Indigenous voices within our community. We support national development for Indigenous people. We honor the multitudes of Indigenous identity including queer, two-spirit, and Black people. Many of their ancestors were abducted and enslaved by a system that continues to this day under the 13th amendment. We demand reparations. We demand an end to the ongoing genocides. We demand the return of land and natural resources. We cannot revitalize ecosystems worldwide without Indigenous sovereignty and climate justice, from Puyallup to Palestine.
Every month CASS's Indigenous committee invites a local indigenous elder, leader, or organizer to guide us in prayer and song. This is one way CASS continues to uplift Indigenous voices. These events are always open to the public. Typically held on the first Friday of each month, check our Instagram or Facebook for updates.
CASS is proud to be in coalition with many Indigenous led groups, like CCG0. You can read more about this here.
We are proud to have elder members of CASS who bring their wisdom and power to our organization. Elder voices are honored and uplifted, and all accommodations are made to ensure full participation of our elders from amplified sound, large-font option, help with transportation and more.
