Welcome back to Movement Mondays in which I share info about frontline communities that are enduring the worst of the climate crisis and the effects of fossil fuel infrastructure.
JOYE BRAUN DAY OF ACTION
Joye was a water protector and pipeline fighter who died in November 2022. Earlier in the year I attended several organizing calls in which Joye spoke and she was absolutely incredible. Joye was funny and knew how to fire up and empower activists. We’re all poorer without her here, but she’d certainly want us to continue the fight. Check out this link to find a climate justice/Indigenous rights action near you in honor of Joye’s work.
Note: Here in Colorado, rather than honoring Joye on January 20th, we’ll gather outside the capitol on the 17th when Governor Polis gives his State of the State address.
I’d love to hear what actions are happening near you so please drop a note in the comments. Solidarity! ✊🏽

It truly was a loss, Becky. Joye didn’t know me, but I felt seen and empowered by her. Not sure if you read the piece about her, but Joye was the first camper at Standing Rock. She showed up and others followed. Extraordinary woman. Thank you for joining the conversation, Becky. 🌻
