INDIGENOUS WOMEN ON THE FRONTLINES OF FOSSIL FUEL RESISTANCE
|
Wednesday May 22nd, 2019
at 11:00 Pacific Time/2:00 Eastern Time
(USA time, please check your own time zone to coordinate)
About:
Global women are advocating and taking action against extractivism and leading fossil fuel resistance movements as we collectively struggle to halt further climate disruption and protect our communities. In great part, extractivism is rooted
in co
lonialism, patriarchy, and a dominator worldview, and is perpetuated through the current predator economic system. This model is destroying the Earth's natural systems of life, and has a particular and unique impact on women and Indigenous communities.
During the training, presenters will share stories, calls to action, and the latest updates from various campaigns, including movements to prevent the destructive impact of the Line 3 pipeline in Minnesota, the Bayou Bridge pipeline in Louisiana, tar sands extraction in Canada, and oil extraction in the Amazon.
Indigenous women and allies across the Americas continue to work diligently to address issues of extraction, colonization, Indigenous rights, Rights of Nature, violence against women, and women as critical defenders of the living Earth. While Indigenous women are central to climate solutions, they also are disproportionately impacted by its negative effects due to environmental racism and unequal gender norms, which marginalizes their voices and impacts their economic opportunities, rights, bodies, education, and political power.
