"we have to challenge the paradigm and philosophy and policies that have come out of religion [...] the concept of dominion is the concept we have to challenge if we are going to achieve rights of Mother Earth." #DefendTheSacred #Cop30

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, the world celebrates our culture but what’s often unseen is the daily work to protect, revitalize, and honor in today's busy society. Each day, Indigenous peoples step into our role as caretakers of the land, defending our waters, air, and territories. #defendthesacred

On #ZeroEmissionsDay let's commit to real solutions: ending fossil fuels, not just offsetting them. Real zero means cutting emissions at the source, not relying on carbon credits. It's time for action, not more false solutions. 🌍 #RealZeroNotNetZero #EndFossilFuels #KeepInTheGround

IEN joined thousands yesterday in NYC for the #MakeBillionairesPay march! IEN’s delegation held it down as we were asked to speak at a number of events before, during and after the march, while grabbing interviews from others in solidarity with protecting Mother Earth. #ClimateWeekNYC

Join us on during climate week to engage in a grassroots community report back. Learn from matriarchs and youth about Indigenous resistance in the climate movement and how you can get involved Register: bit.ly/IENCW2025

The Montreal Protocol united the world to protect the ozone layer, now we must reduce carbon emissions at source by keeping fossil fuels in the ground! We can’t afford to wait any longer… the time to act is NOW. #ZeroEmissions #EndFossilFuels #KeepInTheGround

Today, we celebrate the Amazon Rainforest! Spanning 60% of Brazil’s land, the Amazon holds nearly a third of the world’s remaining tropical rainforests. With its glory it still faces constant threats from industries and development, including deforestation for farming, timber, mining, and more.

Today we honor the Indigenous women around the world who carry passion, wisdom, and resilience for their people. Their voices contain the stories of generations, their spirit fuels movements, and their love nurtures communities. #IndigenousWomen #ProtectTheSacred #IndigenousWomensDay

A broad coalition of organizations has signed a letter of unity standing in firm solidarity with the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, the Ute Mountain Ute White Mesa Community, the White Mesa Concerned Community group. Full Press Release: www.ienearth.org/coalition-of... #ProtectSacredLand

Pollinators = Life! 🧵 From cotton to basketry 🌾 From food sovereignty to water quality 🦋 Pollinators teach us community, reciprocity & tradition. 🌍 Indigenous communities are leading the way, restoring habitat, culture & climate resilience. #PollinatorWeek

One struggle. One fight. For our right to freely exist. From Turtle Island to Gaza, Indigenous, migrant, and Palestinian lives are targeted by the same systems of colonialism, militarization, and violent state control. ✊🏽 #OneStruggle ✊🏿 #FreePalestine ✊🏼 #AbolishICE ✊🏾 #LandBack

🚨 Indigenous Sovereignty Under Attack — We’re Fighting Back. Join us on June 16 for a critical conversation on how the 47th President’s Executive Orders are threatening the rights of Indigenous Peoples & what we’re doing to defend our lands, waters, & futures. 
 📍 Zoom

Climate collapse isn’t the crisis, colonialism, capitalism & fascism are. Indigenous lands don’t know borders. We’re displaced by extraction, war & greed — not migration. From Turtle Island to Gaza: we rise, we resist, we fight for life & liberation. #NoBordersNoCages TiwCTJ.short.gy/vg5KXH

No one is illegal on Turtle Island. Colonial violence created borders, borders created the concept of “illegal people.” But Indigenous Peoples have always moved freely across these lands, guided by seasonal cycles, ancestral trade routes, and reciprocal relationships with Mother Earth.

The burning of fossil fuels releases 80% of the world’s total carbon, making it the number one driver behind the current climate crisis. Keeping fossil fuels in the ground is the number one solution needed to address climate change today. #KeepItInTheGround #EndCo2lonialism #IndigenousJustTransition
