The Power of Matriarchy: Intergenerational Indigenous Women's Leadership

Women are leading the struggle for climate justice and ushering in a new approach to creating a sustainable future for our planet. Restoring balance in climate leadership produces equity that fundamentally transforms our relationship with culture, identity, humanity, and the Earth. Creating a livable world without pollution and systemic violence depends on our ability not only to dismantle but to nurture and restore relations with ourselves and each other.

This week, we share wisdom from brilliant women leaders as they discuss their visions for a more equitable climate movement.
