Joye Braun Day Jan. 20, 2023

In honor of movement leader my mother Joye Braun we will be gathering across Turtle Island to demand Biden “Be a climate warrior not a wimp. Kill the black snakes, reject all fossil fuel projects and declare a climate emergency."
The time is now – join us! -- Morgan Brings Plenty

Nearly nine years ago, Lakota Joye Braun halted a mega load on her homeland, the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation in South Dakota. "You see I believe you have to be the change you want, and the day before I just got done talking about being more direct in our actions," Joye said.

Today, we celebrate Joye Braun Day. We remember Joye, journalist, and winner of the Bold Activism Award, when she first set up a tipi at Standing Rock during the first days of the resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline. 

We remember Joye in her own words.

Journey well my friend.
