Instead of donating to non-profits with massive budgets and uncritically buying from Indigenous capitalists, how about providing support for these Indigenous projects & people that are incredibly resourceful and do powerful work with very little financial support? This is an opportunity to be part of and grow these necessary efforts beyond #givingtuesday.
While some of these folx or projects aren’t explicitly anti-capitalist, we recognize that often times much of what they do is out of pocket and that they always put more in than they are supported or recognized for.
R.I.S.E. is an Indigenous initiative dedicated to amplifying the voices of Indigenous Queer, Trans, Gender Gradient/GNC, Two Spirit, & Matriarchal communities. R.I.S.E. is a collective presence of Indigenous ancestors. Rise is a collective resistance created, burteures, and led by Indigenous peoples.

This is our yearly call for material support for Indigenous Action activities & donation drive for Táala Hooghan infoshop unsheltered support & operational expenses.
Indigenous Action (IA/originally Indigenous Action Media) was founded on August 25th, 2001 to provide strategic communications and direct action support for Indigenous sacred lands defense. We are a volunteer-run radical autonomous crew of anti-colonial & anti-capitalist Indigenous trouble makers & propagandists.
We generally are comprised of designers, artists, writers & frontline agitators that work together on a project by project basis (some long-term some short) for liberation for Mother Earth and all her beings. We’ve organized hundreds of actions, marches, banner drops, workshops, conferences, benefits, & much more. 100% of all proceeds directly support radical Indigenous organizing. Everything we do is based on community support. We don’t rely on grants. We’re all in for total liberation.
Some (not all) active projects & organizing we’re currently directly involved with:
IA Podcast+ Táala Hooghan Infoshop
KinłaniMutualAid.org
HaulNo.com
ProtectthePeaks.org
Ongoing local/regional frontline support:
Resource/supply distro, bail, jail support organizing, etc.
Graphic & web support for a dozen current Indigenous-led campaigns.

Regional supply distro for Indigenous unsheltered relatives: $1,000-$3,000, we also maintain funds for emergency hotels.
