Join Native Recruitment + Community at Teach For America for an intimate online gathering with Winona LaDuke, the first Native American woman to appear on a U.S. presidential ballot, as we build community and reimagine advocacy for relatives across Turtle Island and the Hawaiian Islands.Wednesday, November 19 at 6:30 PM CSTRSVP by November 18 to receive a Zoom link from evan.hill@teachforamerica.orgHow much do we really know about Indigenous communities across Turtle Island today? From underfunded schools on tribal lands to persistent inequities, Native peoples continue to navigate systems not built with them in mind. Yet across communities, powerful organizing, resistance, and renewal are taking place, led by Indigenous leaders shaping the path forward.Winona LaDuke has spent her life advancing Indigenous sovereignty and sustainability. Her work invites us to rethink advocacy as grounded organizing rooted in relationship, reciprocity, and shared responsibility.Join us for a conversation with Winona LaDuke as we explore:
What does organizing look like in today’s world, when systems of power and inequity feel more complex than ever?
How do we distinguish activism—raising our voices for change—from organizing, which builds lasting structures of community power?
How can each of us help rebuild narratives that center Indigenous wisdom, foster empathy and understanding, and inspire meaningful action?
This event is open to all. We can’t wait to see you there. RSVP today! Interested, but can’t attend live? Register to recieve a recording!
