Relocation is Genocide – Mae Tso Poster

Published

on

“We must resist. We have become this land of ours. We are Indigenous. We are still here. And I am not going anywhere.”
– Mae Tso

Mae Tso was an elder Diné matriarch and a powerful force in the ongoing resistance to forced relocation on Black Mesa.
She fought against Peabody Coal mining and PL93-531, the so-called “Relocation Act” as she was one of the main plaintiffs in the lawsuit Manybeads et al v. the United States. She lived her entire life following traditional ways on her ancestral lands and leaves a strong legacy of young resisters to carry on her fight.
She was taken from us recently by COVID-19.
Rest in Power Mae Tso.

No Justice on Stolen Lands!
Abolish the settler colonial police state.
Avenge Tort!

When we resist the commodification and destruction of Mother Earth, we continue Indigenous resistance to over 500 years of colonial violence. Colonial enforcers continue to murder land, water, and forest defenders. Respect existence or expect resistance.

Poster: Apologies Mean Nothing…Pope

Published

“Apologies mean nothing so long as the system of colonial violence remains.”

High resolution 11″x17″ PDFs: Color/Black background | White background/color | Black & White

A response to the recent “apology” by the pope to Indigenous Peoples of so-called kkkanada.
Christianity is a primary institution of cis-heteropatriarchal colonial violence. The systematic annihilation of Indigenous Peoples and lifeways in the “Name of God” continues throughout the world. Putting a headdress on genocide, ecocide & enslavement is not justice.

Keep Your Colonizer Laws Off Our Bodies.

Printable PDFs: 11″x17″ Color | 11″x17″ Black & White

We are not surprised at the decisions made in the name of “justice” by those who determine the “supreme” law of colonial social order. What justice can we expect from the colonizer’s courts that are rooted in white supremacy & cis-heteropatriarchy?

We stand against colonizers & their laws dictating what can & can’t be done with birthing people’s bodies.
While there are many resources connected to non-profits & shitty liberal or vanguardist orgs, we encourage decentralized autonomous & militant organizing in the spirit of queer feminist relatives in so-called Mexico who lashed out in response to femicide, sexual violence, & when their reproductive freedom was threatened. In contrast to the predictable white liberal reaction to “vote harder,” autonomous militants in “Mexico” brought the state to its knees through outrage & conflict.
Non-profits & specialized activist groups here in the occupied US continue to consolidate resources & extract power from our communities. They speak of bodily autonomy while reinforcing colonial power, forgetting that we also assert that violence against the land is violence against our bodies & we fight for total liberation. We witness it in the commodification & compartmentalization of mutual aid when collective care & access to medicines & resources should be available to all who need it. As Janes Revenge states, “Our recourse now is to defend ourselves and to build robust, caring communities of mutual aid, so that we may heal ourselves without the need of the medical industry or any other intermediary.”  
We will not let the sacred knowledge and practices of reproductive freedom be determined by colonial rule.
Many Indigenous Peoples still maintain knowledge and medicines for healthy births and abortions. This is an opportunity to radically reconnect & share ancestral knowledge for reproductive freedom.
Our bodies are ungovernable forces of nature. Smashing cis-heteropatriarchy is ceremony.
Drop links to solid radical/anti-capitalist/autonomous orgs in comments below.
