The Red Deal (eBook, ePUB)

Indigenous Action to Save Our Earth

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

When the Red Nation released their call for a Red Deal, it generated coverage in places from Teen Vogue to Jacobin to the New Republic, was endorsed by the DSA, and has galvanized organizing and action. Now, in response to popular demand, the Red Nation expands their original statement filling in the histories and ideas that formed it and forwarding an even more powerful case for the actions it demands.

One-part visionary platform, one-part practical toolkit, the Red Deal is a platform that encompasses everyone, including non-Indigenous comrades and relatives who live on Indigenous land. We-Indigenous, Black and people of color, women and trans folks, migrants, and working people-did not create this disaster, but we have inherited it. We have barely a decade to turn back the tide of climate disaster. It is time to reclaim the life and destiny that has been stolen from us and rise up together to confront this challenge and build a world where all life can thrive. Only mass movements can do what the moment demands. Politicians may or may not follow--it is up to them--but we will design, build, and lead this movement with or without them.

The Red Deal is a call for action beyond the scope of the US colonial state. It's a program for Indigenous liberation, life, and land-an affirmation that colonialism and capitalism must be overturned for this planet to be habitable for human and other-than-human relatives to live dignified lives. The Red Deal is not a response to the Green New Deal, or a "bargain" with the elite and powerful. It's a deal with the humble people of the earth; a pact that we shall strive for peace and justice and a declaration that movements for justice must come from below and to the left.

Autorenporträt

The Red Nation formed in 2014 in response to the rampant bordertown violence and newly revived anti-police brutality movement in New Mexico. Since then the Red Nation has had several successful campaigns which garnered national and international support and media coverage, including the campaign to abolish UNM's racist seal, the No Dead Natives campaign, the movement to Abolish the Entrada, and Justice for Loreal Tsingine.
