Indigenous nonprofit that protects the sacredness of Mother Earth from contamination and exploitation
"[...] Moving away from nuclear weapons & fossil fuel based economics still provides an opportunity for people to have a job, to still make money." It's long past time for a #JustTransition away from weapons manufacturing, research, and extractive industries like uranium mining/Plutonium Pit Prod.
Contaminants from uranium mining and plutonium pit production for nuclear weapons are harming Indigenous communities. It's time for a #JustTransition away from nuclear weapons manufacturing and towards legacy waste cleanup. #defendthesacred
A Human Rights advocate & member of Indigenous council (CIPOG-EZ) has been imprisoned in the state of Guerrero, Mexico. The National Indigenous Congress is asking for Indigenous organizations worldwide to call for Jesus Placido’s release after he was arrested, without evidence, on July 17th, 2026.
Join us LIVE this Wednesday! The federal government is producing new nuclear weapons in the United States. As a result, there will be an increase in all activities related to producing nuclear weapons and stockpile stewardship, including uranium mining. REGISTRATION LINK: https://bit.ly/Roca-Honda
At United Nations climate talks, we hear them say "Save The Arctic." At the same time, world leaders along with fossil fuel lobbyists are using this space in order to push Geoengineering large scale projects. #DefendTheSacred
"Geoengineering, also known as climate mitigation with the use of technology, is not the answer. We do not need blue or green economies. We need a healthy and thriving home for all..." full panel from the Global Forest Coalition available on YouTube #defendthesacred
Great Grandmother Mary Lyons stands up for all of our sisters, brothers, and siblings across the globe who are being threatened inside their own homelands. Indigenous Peoples are at the forefront of mitigating climate disaster and stopping extractive industries. #defendthesacred
As the Arctic continues to warm four times faster than the rest of the world, coastal communities are not only facing threats from climate catastrophe but now the new wave of extractive industries branded as "Geoengineering."
Defense of the world's Rainforests is defense of ourselves and our ways of life. The corporations & governments who are benefiting from extractive industries in our Rainforests keep us dependent on fossil fuels while sidelining Indigenous and rural communities & a Just Transition #WorldRainforestDay
Today, let’s honor the men who walk in balance raising children, holding ceremonies, and helping our communities stay in good relation with Mother Earth. #FathersDay #IndigenousFatherhood
As our days grow shorter, we give thanks to Mother Earth as she continues her journey around Grandfather Sun, ushering in another season of abundance and growth. #summersolstice #defendthesacred

This World Oceans Day, we are calling out the growing biodiversity credit markets offering large sums of money to communities for protection of their bays, beaches, and ocean relatives; then they pull the veil revealing the money isn't for conservation, it's an "investment." #WorldOceansDay

This #WorldBeeDay lets take a moment for the pollinators. They work behind the scenes of every meal, every meadow, every medicine. Protect the bees! #WorldBeeDay #DefendTheSacred
Indigenous Peoples are not obstacles to climate action, we are its most essential partners. "Without the guarantee of our inherent rights, the transition will be built on extractivism", "impacting our way of life & the ecosystems we have protected for thousands of years." #DefendtheSacred #TAFF2026
Colonial systems treat Mother Earth the same way they treat Indigenous women, as something to exploit. We’re calling out what needs to be the focus now (agriculture & violence towards women), as we know Indigenous women are the backbone of society, communities and global food sovereignty.
Indigenous delegates delivered a straight forward stance at the International Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels, rejecting tokenism & demanding that true solidarity, not optics become the foundation of any just transition. #DefendtheSacred
