Happy to introduce my friend Arjho from the Blaan Indigenous community of the Philippines, She’s a champion for climate change, community involvement, and is an international activist in indigenous peoples' rights. If you're passionate about indigenous people's rights and want to create change towards more sustainable future, you going to love our conversation.
We talked 2 years to the day after meeting each other during the Climate Reality training, from what she called her "second home," Atlanta, Ga, and we talked about what we learned during our training to fight the climate crisis.
Our conversation was just a few days before the crime that shook the country. As Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, who we both saw in an interfaith mass in the Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, MLK old church, said "The lives of those who were killed here in Atlanta this week say something to us: All of us must come together, Black, white, brown, Asian, native, gay & straight. It's time to get it right, right here & right now, America" #StopAsianHate

This podcast is part of Climate Reality's 24 Hours of Reality: Countdown to the Future
A twenty-four hours of digital presentations and conversations on how the climate crisis, COVID-19, and racial injustice together shape our world and threaten our future, taking place in communities all across the Earth.
With the current unrest, pandemic, and climate crises plaguing each and everyone of us, we know that this year’s we need to bring attention to the dire need for action. Action at the local, regional, and national levels, ensuring a brighter and cleaner world for all of us, and for those to come.
With so many actions to take, we still believe that having a conversation is one of the most impactful, and can lead to countless actions down the line.
With that in mind I want to introduce my fellow climate reality trained Shurti!

I do have a ask for you.
The Covid epidemic has underlined the fact that low income communities get the brunt of all crisis impacts.
American Indian tribes, and specifically the Navajo Nation, have been some of the hardest hit by the COVID-19 crisis.
On a per capita basis, the Navajo Nation is #3 right behind NY & NJ in terms cases and deaths.
We are asking for your support to help raise funds and to help provide masks and hand sanitizer for these communities through a fundraiser being organized by Natives Outdoors, an organization elevating native and indigenous people in the outdoors.
Option 1: Purchase a Bears Ears Petroglyph / Covid-19 relief print on our site. All proceeds go towards purchasing masks and hand sanitizer to be shipped to those in need. https://tinyurl.com/yb476lye
Option 2: Donate directly to vetted relief organizations. https://tinyurl.com/y9xo3sn9
Information on both options are outlined on the natives-outdoors.org website.
Ahe’hee’ Thank you
