"Divest from the companies who are causing Indigenous human rights violations across the world. I am asking you - to stand with us for the Earth and the water, to stand with us now." - LaDonna Brave Bull Allard
WATCH and SHARE. The ‘Indigenous Women’s Divestment Delegation to Europe’ traveled to Norway, Switzerland and Germany to meet with political leaders, and representatives of financial and insurance institutions impacting their homelands - calling for systemic policy changes and immediate divestment from fossil fuel companies that endanger rights and neglect Indigenous People’s right to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent as outlined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Delegation action is part of an ongoing, growing global movement which is pursuing diverse fossil fuel divestment efforts as a critical strategy to protect Mother Earth, the global climate, and the health and rights of Indigenous communities and others experiencing the impacts of oil extraction and climate change on a daily basis.
