If your organization is seeking consulting specific to Indigenous Solidarity let’s talk! As a community organizer and scholar on this topic, I am excited to work with organizations on this issue.

As a non-Indigenous person, I support other non-Indigenous people in the educational, emotional and logistical work required to show up well to Indigenous solidarity. Because of the nature of this work, I ask that you either (a) match all consulting fees with a donation to a local Indigenous group (b) already have a budget line item of a minimum of 1% of your annual operating budget that goes to a local Indigenous group (based on the Shuumi calculations for a non-profit).

Things I can support your organization with:

• Educating your staff on settler-colonialism in California, using primary sources & recordings of Indigenous leaders

• Holding space for the people in your organization as they unpack how they may benefit from colonization

• Helping the people in your organization trace their lineages and how their people came to this continent if they are not Indigenous

• Supporting people find meaning in their lineages that supports them in living into Indigenous Solidarity today

• Supporting your organization in connecting with local Indigenous organizations and following their leadership

• Supporting your organization in developing a budget line item that goes to Indigenous land return and cultural revitalization

• Creating a process for writing a land acknowledgement that feels authentic to your organization and in line with the actions your organization is taking

• Supporting external communications about Indigenous Solidarity from your organization

• Supporting your organization in making a plan for how to engage your members in Indigenous solidarity

• Creating curriculum, toolkits, ritual materials, etc. that incorporate Indigenous Solidarity lessons into your organization’s work
