Here is a dossier we have been developing for the last year, that's gone through a review by the communities we serve, as well as our organizers, and now it is time for our public review: That is why I am posting this here

Along with videos in development, a further public five year plan, and several theoretical pieces of our unique contribution to the contemporary theoretical landscape, we have joined with the budding Indigenous Anti-Colonial Institute that you can find the first episode on youtube and spotify idk about anything else yet. Already this year we brought a 20' Uhaul full of wood, winter gear, hygiene materials, gardening materials, and whatever else we could fit like a child's bed. We also raised the money to purchase a new home on the land, are in the process of sending 40 lbs of socks to the Rez, raised 500/2500 of the storage container costs we need by the end of the month, are finalizing our Principles of Unity, facilitating 4 nation to nation treaties, are halfway to our goal of 2k a month to support our organizers survival with 500 stipends, and have raised several thousand dollars in the last day to keep folks alive during this deadly weather

I am attempting to bypass the character limit via the photos so forgive me. However we are on a great trajectory and the momentum is undeniable. On https://linktr.ee/chunkalutanetwork you can see several fundraising efforts we are doing and see our liberpay and patreon options to become monthly sustainers of our efforts, our website will be launching later this year, and really get involved. Help out. Theres so many ways and I think we are proving ourselves very capable at organizing great things, and you will see us move mountains this year. So follow our various social medias, and Im seriously going to try to engage here this year. I just hate social media in general and this doesnt give me a bright notification on my phone. We also highly encourage sharing and in our library (once I update the materials available) stuff like this will be readily accessible for your posting pleasure

In addition to the bipassing of the character limit, massive props to the whole art and media team, this is super slick looking. Gonna have to work with some local printworks to get this made into physical copies.

They really did a great job. They found a way to incorporate a lot of information in a way that is easily read, visually harmonious, and appealing. I found myself grateful for the distinct layout on each page, which made it easy to tell which thumbnail I had just been reading, and the succinct, confident writing style had me eager to click the next one and learn more.

I'm grateful to know this project exists and happy to support it.

We are going to win. The alternative is annihilation.

This is very exciting. I'm glad someone's doing organizing right in this awful country. I've been spreading the word and donating. Thank you for existing.

This all looks great! Very inspiring!

One minor question to prove I read it- what's up with the trees planted by Columbine survivors? What does Columbine have to do with Indigenous self-sufficiency? Does that just get wrapped up in the "Great Green Wall" project?

Columbine survivors planted memorial trees on the rez and we need to move them.
