San Francisco Bay Area signatories of the Indigenous Women of the Americas Defending Mother Earth Treaty and allies will be attending the SunDay day of action September 21st in Berkeley, CA honoring the upcoming Fall Equinox. We invite our Indigenous relatives to attend alongside us in Berkeley or at any of the other locations taking place in the Bay Area or across Turtle Island.
Sun Day is a day of celebrating all the clean energy progress we've made and continue to make while pushing for more clean energy initiatives for a brighter future. We’ll come together to showcase the power of the sun and wind, the energy sources that can power our world without pollution.

"There are times in history when it becomes necessary for the people to rise up to change the intolerable. There is nothing more intolerable than the destruction of thousands of species, including our own.
There have never been more unjust laws than the ones that exist now which are allowing the destruction of the environment that we need to exist. For these reasons we invite our sisters and their allies around the world to join us in teach‐ins and nonviolent direct actions at all of the facilities and seats of power that are causing the destruction. We invite you to do this calmly, without malice, and with the love in your hearts for everything you hold dear.
As tribal women, our love is clear, unconditional and strong. Our traditional Indigenous ways of life instruct us that women hold the wisdom necessary to guide the leaders toward understanding the needs of children and the unborn. Through this treaty initiative we are raising our voices to give direction to government leaders and those holding seats of power to adjust the man‐made laws in accordance with the natural laws. "
