Happy Pride Month from SGF! 🏳️‍🌈 Throughout the month of June we will be celebrating the long history of the Two-Spirit community and its leaders within Indigenous cultures. #PrideMonth #TwoSpirit #LGBTIA2S+ #LoveisLove

May 5th is #MMIWG Day of Awareness. Rise and take action through wearing red, educating yourself and others on the crisis and checking out the events our friends @niwrc @csvanw are hosting. #NoMoreStolenSisters

Water is life and protecting California’s lands is protecting our water too. Join the Pit River Tribe to urge @POTUS to protect over 205,000 acres of sacred land. protectmedicinelakehighlands.org/take-action #WorldWaterDay #ProtectSáttítla

On this #NationalMissingPersonsDay our hearts go out to our #MMIWG2S and the loved ones who mourn them. We’re proud to support orgs like @NLMcoalition working to reclaim a world without violence against Indigenous women, girls and two-spirits.

Congratulations to SGF President Chris Peters on his appointment to @Cal_Humanities board of directors!

ICYMI: Hundreds came out this weekend for the Hoʻūlu Lahaina Unity Gathering! We are grateful for the time and space to be in community and support the Lahaina recovery process.

Indigenous women are two times more likely to die of pregnancy related causes than white women. Indigenous childbirth ceremonies and traditional birthing practices must be incorporated into clinical practice, so mothers and babies can thrive. #MaternalHealthAwarenessDay

51 years ago, SCOTUS issued #RoevWade, a landmark decision that has since been overturned. Indigenous advocates like @IWRising are working across the country to deliver reproductive health care to the 2 million Native Americans who live in states with limited access to abortion.

We are joining The Hoʻūlu Lahaina Unity Gathering this Saturday January 20th to support the ongoing healing and Lahaina recovery process. This is a space to be in community and support those affected by the fires. Register below and we hope you can join! lelealoha.org/unity/

Today, we remember and celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who was not only a champion of civil rights, but human rights. He was a friend and ally to Indigenous Peoples, working with the Poarch Band Creek Indians to desegregate their schools in Alabama. #MLKDay
