My relative: It’s time to gather our power together. Many of you have been with us for the long haul, and you know our activism is rooted in spiritual liberation and knowledge. Now, as we launch our new nonprofit, I ask for your generosity again. Our transition to full Indigenous leadership has not been easy. We had to eliminate critical staff and make personal sacrifices. But your reinvestment in this sacred work of Lakota Law and the Sacred Defense Fund can empower us to survive and thrive. Your foundational funding will empower us to round out our organizing, executive, development, and communications departments and — most importantly — continue defending tribal sovereign, human, and constitutional rights. Our Sacred Summer capital campaign goal is to raise $750,000 and establish a financial foundation that will propel our work to new heights. Please give what you can, and help us expand our circle by inviting your friends to invest with you. We deeply appreciate your heart and your generosity. There is so much good to be done, and we can’t do it without you.

Wopila Tanka!
