#INMroots From Actions Against Fracking in the West to Activist Trainings in the Dakotas – Idle No More
Welcome to the second Idle No More grassroots newsletter which will now be called #INMroots! Thanks to everyone who submitted ideas for the newsletter name.
The goal of the #INMroots newsletter is to share news stories that promote Indigenous rights and sovereignty and the protection of land and water. The newsletter will share our stories, actions, and honour resistance while celebrating the world that we are protecting.
We are all invited to add to this newsletter. Post your story now! Deadline for the next newsletter is midnight Sunday February 15th. We will accept all submissions that are connected to Indigenous and environmental issues as long as they do not condone or promote violence, lateral violence or include hate speech.
The next newsletter will be published on Monday February 23rd, so check your inboxes!
