From our manifesto:
One struggle can illuminate another [...] to those who come from within a struggle and must learn about the other, to those who come from both and are forgotten, to those who come from neither and must work to educate themselves.
From our mission statement:
The current conversation around justice creates an artificial separation between the different struggles, when they are all just outbursts of the same flame. OUR MISSION is to bring forth the ways in which oppressed groups found solidarity. OUR MISSION is to bring forth the ways in which oppressed groups elevated each other’s struggles. OUR MISSION is to use this information as a tool to educate audiences that must do the work of educating themselves.
The timeline creator:
I am Native American from the Seneca Nation. I created this timeline as a tool for education about the connections between the Indigenous and Black struggles for liberation and the power found in solidarity. Rather than creating new content, I compiled existing resources about Black and Native American solidarity, acknowledging that the most valuable and poignant content is created by those who experience, are actually impacted by, the operation of systems of oppression, and those who are actually doing the work on the ground.
