Speaking on behalf of all Indigenous people’s coast-to-coast-to-coast when in reality you only work with hand selected advisory committees is shameful.

FPIC is the standard that global Indigenous people’s worldwide are calling for at #COP30. Canada’s net-zero plans will wipe out entire Nations.

"We desperately need more global collaboration when multilateralism is threatened and authoritarianism is rising. We need international solidarity to push back against the wave of nationalism."

"The COP process is flawed and rife with failures. But it’s one of the few spaces where civil society, youth, scientists and Indigenous leaders can confront power face-to-face. This matters."

They are my motivation to attend, and I look forward to representing my organization, my community and myself to the best of my abilities. You can trust that I'll be calling out hypocrisy at every turn!

"If COP30 is to mean anything, we must heed Indigenous leadership."

I met young leaders from Indigenous and Global South communities around the world who talked to me about their their stake in this flawed, negotiation process and had powerful community stories of both resistance and innovation.

However, this April, I had the opportunity to travel to Brazil to learn from Amazonian peoples about their crucial work to protect their precious ecosystems, implement clean energy, maintain their culture, and fight to make this COP a "Nature COP" that centers Indigenous sovereignty.

There’s no revolution without base building and organizing. Deepening our political education and investing in alternative systems comes second to getting people through the door, and this campaign has a lot to teach us!

This is a moment of hope and celebration and not a time to flex your brosocialist theory that will just alienate the people that are now on your side on a bunch of key issues.

Flawed and corrupt and colonial as they may be, electoral campaigns provide an incredible opportunity to base build with ordinary people, to help create a stronger us versus them!
