Indigenous Solidarity Statement

 We stand in unconditional solidarity with the spuyaləpabš/Puyallup, dxʷsqʷaliʔabš/Nisqually, other Coast Salish, and all Indigenous people in the fight against the ongoing occupation and dispossession of their ancestral land, from Puyallup to Palestine. Indigenous people have stewarded these lands since time immemorial and continue to do so today. We uplift Indigenous voices within our organization and community and gratefully partner with Indigenous led groups. We honor the multitudes of Indigenous identity including queer, two-spirit, and Black people; many whose ancestors were abducted and enslaved by a system that continues to this day under the 13th amendment. We demand reparations, an end to the ongoing genocides, and the return of land and natural resources. Indigenous sovereignty and climate justice are indivisible and instrumental to the revitalization of ecosystems worldwide.
