No More Stolen Relatives on Stolen Lands
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | November 14, 2022
Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt - Women and gender diverse Indigenous Peoples are the first and most impacted by extractive industries across the globe.

On Tuesday, November 15, 2022, international Indigenous leaders, activists, and allies will be wearing red to bring attention to the ongoing genocide and violence of Indigenous Peoples and our lands.
