HONOR THE EARTH
This year’s grant supported a new initiative on Indigenous Women’s
Leadership focused on sustainable development, energy policy,
restoring traditional economies, and community organizing. This
effort aims to empower, mentor, and grow women’s leadership in
Indigenous communities through trainings on grant writing, energy
policy, community organizing, and strategic decision-making through
on-the-job training and continued presence at various conferences,
utility regulatory hearings, non-violent direct actions, etc.
