Native Justice Coalition

The Native Justice Coalition was formed in 2016 with the intent of being a platform for healing, social, and racial justice for all Native American people. We seek to provide a safe and nurturing platform for Native people based in an anti-oppression framework. We seek to collaborate first and foremost with tribal governments, Native American non-profits, and other Native American led community organizations. Our goal is to bring resources, initiatives, and programming into our tribal communities that are creative, engaging, and transformative. We emphasize working in rural, remote, and reservation communities where little grant or philanthropic dollars go to. We are not opposed to working in cities however the funding disparity in philanthropy pushes us to break down this injustice. At the Native Justice Coalition we are passionate about working in our communities that are out of sight from the majority culture and populations. Four Key Foundations of Our WorkHealing Justice – Providing a safe space for healing to occur in Native communities. We believe that in order for Native people to heal from historical trauma and racism, it is important to create this space and provide the resources for our people to heal. Some forms of healing justice may come in storytelling, which is something we want to practice and emphasize through this organization. Similarly, healing justice can address multiple issues; including racism, sexism, addiction, abuse, gender violence, and historical trauma. Racial Justice – In our work we will center Native American people in racial justice and equity work. So often in anti-racism initiatives Native people have been left out of the conversations. In the United States the Black and White racial binary has not only ignored other groups but ignores settler colonialism on Native lands. We seek to change this narrative around and center our people in our work. Addressing current traumas, disparities, historical and generational trauma is a key part of our work. Restorative Justice – Addressing the root cause of historical trauma. Restorative justice emphasizes healing the harm done by the offense and rehabilitating the offender to avoid future harms. Such processes are in line with traditional Aboriginal views of justice. In a sense this work is about returning to the teachings and decolonization. This is an example of restorative justice in a remote Ojibway community - Hollow Water First Nation. Gender Justice – We seek to redefine what gender justice means based on decolonizing gender roles and identities. Gender justice is about decolonizing and also embracing modern times in the many identities we share. This work may include: - Restoring Matriarchy - Decolonizing Masculinities - Honoring Two-Spirits - Healthy Native families and individuals

Under the guidance of labor history, we know that an organized workforce is how workers win. This city has 100,000 hospitality workers, organized & united we have the power to shut this city down. If we all went on strike tomorrow the money would stop flowing and our bosses and representatives would have no choice but to adhere to our demands.We are opposed to all forms of oppression such as racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia. We support full rights and protections for our immigrant co-workers. We understand our bosses use tactics that weaponize forms of discrimination to further divide workers. We must stand firm against these divisive tactics. The committee respects Black, brown, women, and LGBTQ workers and welcomes them to take on leadership in the organization.Our purpose is to organize our fellow hospitality workers so that we may secure just working conditions in our industry --- wages we can live on, benefits to support our families and freedom from harassment and discrimination in the workplace. Only through organizing will we be able to demand a better future for hospitality workers. We fight for better working conditions, both for workers currently in the industry and the children in the community who will inherit the industry.

New Work Collective Detroit

The New Work Collective of Detroit promotes a "New Economy", "New Work", and a "New Culture" of work as a constructive response to unemployment due to the de-industrialization of Detroit. We see opportunity to take back our city's collective power as an urban mecca by creating alternative working systems that empower, mobilize, and support local Detroiters in earning a living, doing the things we love in addition to building our communities. This way, many of us can survive the devastating wave of capitalism, rather than continuing to individually spend time pumping blood, sweat, and dollars into a debt-based economy full of rich, yet anti-black, people hating, private business owners, and politicians.

Nimiipuu Protecting the Environment

Nimiipuu is the English translation for “the people” which is one amongst many names the Nez Perce call ourselves. And- protecting the environment of our traditional lands was the common committment that brought us together.We began organizing a number of years ago as a volunteer group concerned about protecting our traditional rights and lands. Then, after the Exxon Mobil Megaloads protests by our tribal members in 2013, we began to meet on a regular basis. By networking with some First Nations friends near the Tar Sands, we had the opportunity to meet and receive financial support from the Seventh Generation Fund. With their seed funding, we began working on ways to educate and inform our tribal membership about the Tar Sands and other areas at risk. We began meeting, organizing activities and events on the reservation, and offering public interest group activities at area colleges/universities.Nimiipuu Protecting the Environment is committed to protect Tribal Treaty rights within our original ceded area and usual and accustomed places.

Nodutdol

Nodutdol is a community of first through fourth generation Koreans living in the U.S. We are a community that has families in both, the south and north of Korea. We are diverse in our backgrounds and perspectives, but bound together by our shared sense of the Korean homeland that continues to suffer under division [with the understanding that the concept of ‘home’ may vary]. We are part of the Korean diaspora spread throughout the globe made up of artists, filmmakers, teachers, students, workers, professionals, young families, etc. who believe in social justice.In April 1999, Nodutdol was founded in New York City. Inspired by the democratic social movements in Korea, there was a desire to create a progressive space in NYC that promotes the self-determination and unity of the Korean people through grassroots organizing and community development. With a critical analysis of the U.S. - Korea history [that is closely linked to war and militarism], Nodutdol began putting together workshops, lectures, and study sessions, believing in the importance of educating present and future generations of Koreans living in the U.S. to be actively engaged in social change.Through grassroots organizing and community development, Nodutdol seeks to bridge divisions created by war, nation, gender, sexual orientation, language, class, and generation among Koreans and to empower our community to address the injustices we and other people of color face here and abroad. Nodutdol works in collaboration with other progressive organizations locally, nationally and internationally as part of a larger movement for peace and social change. Nodutdol seeks to contribute to a global people’s struggle against war and militarism as part of a Korean struggle for national unification and democracy, and as part of a U.S.-based peoples’ struggle for racial, social and economic justice in New York City. In that spirit, we are building a broad base of NYC Koreans who struggle against war and militarism on these two fronts.

North Shore Workers Community Fund/New Lynn Coalition

The mission of the North Shore Workers Community Fund is to knit together, through grassroots community organizing, a divided working class, based on race and ethnicity, in Essex County, MA. We accomplish this through research, education, economic development, and cultural activities. Our primary challenge is to overcome a perception among the white working class of being under siege by the demands of immigrants and people of color. The North Shore Workers Community Fund is creating a regional –and potentially national- solution to this issue by building on the progressive side of the region’s working class movement amongst community organizations and unions. The City of Lynn is the first stop in our organizing efforts. Lynn is the linchpin of the region because it is the largest, most diverse city in the area; a center for service provision in the region; and the home of a long history of abolitionism, suffragists, and union and community organizing.
