Join us for an evening of ally training, story telling, music and dance showcases. We are raising $3,000 to support the indigenous struggles of Standing Rock as well as locally with the Ohlone People of the Bay Area, so if you can't join us in person you can still make a donation!
Native members from the Bay Area will bring us information from Standing Rock. In addition, we will learn about the local efforts being done to protect native land in the Bay Area and ideas about how we can best be allies. Learn the importance of understanding the history of the land and people in both where we live and where we travel. This evening is also an opportunity to hear from native speakers and build relationships for continued support and solidarity.
