Earth Justice Campaign

  In the South Sound Street Medics, we take a holistic approach to radical community care. Most recently, this has included our Earth Justice Campaign to support Indigenous and environmental justice causes. Indigenous environmental justice is at its core radical community care, not just for Mother Earth, but for the physical, cultural, and spiritual health of Indigenous people, the original caretakers of Mother Earth.

As a part of this campaign, we have worked with multiple different resistance camps fighting against mega-corporations looking to mine or build oil pipelines on Indigenous land, which would result in disastrous ecological impacts, physical and mental health complications, increased rates of missing and murdered Indigenous women, and threats to Indigenous food and cultural sovereignty. All of these effects are closely tied to individual and community health. We support these people and groups by providing them with street medic training, know your protest rights training, basic herbal medicine training, and how they can form their own street medic collectives.

So far, through this campaign, we have been able to help those at Thacker Pass, Nevada fighting against lithium mining, the Winnemucca Indian Colony, Nevada where elders' homes are being bulldozed, Fairy Creek where the logging of old-growth trees is occurring, and those in Minnesota fighting against the Line 3 oil pipeline. We are regularly working on this project all across Turtle Island, but we need your help to continue, please consider donating to our Earth Justice fundraiser under the donate tab here on our website or on our Facebook/instagram and keep an eye out for updates on our campaign to share with others.
