INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DEMAND END TO IMPUNITY FOR DEATHS AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER

 

Phoenix, AZ – Member organizations of the National Council of Indigenous Peoples in the Diaspora (CONPID) arriving in Phoenix to attend the Day of the Indigenous Child will conduct a press conference on Friday April 29 to denounce the de facto policy of impunity for the deaths of indigenous children in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention and the aftermath of the “zero tolerance” policy which separated 3,914 families from their children. 

Of these, more than a third are from indigenous communities fleeing the poverty and institutionalized violence that is the living legacy of 520 years of European colonialism and the corporate invasion of indigenous territories in the continent.

#ColonialismZeroTolerance

June 30, 2018 - Today the commission of Indigenous Peoples attending the Protecting Mother Earth Conference at Frank's Landing proclaimed at the gates of the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma that the illegal normalization of colonialism will be challenged now, again and forevermore as long as the grass grows and the rivers flow.

 

The challenge to the normalization of 525 years of colonialism and white supremacy across the continent of the Great Turtle Island Abya Yala [Americas] will be met in peaceful purpose and prayer as many times as necessary with ZERO TOLERANCE.
