As we brace for the many challenges on the horizon, the air is understandably thick with fear. The stakes for Indigenous Peoples, our lands, and the global climate could not be higher. The relentless drive for development at the expense of our sacred Earth threatens the future of our planet. While on a basic level, fear heightens our senses and keeps us alert, this is not the time for fear. Rather, this is a call to rise to meet the moment and to embrace the formidable challenges that lie ahead together, grounded in the power of community and collective strength.
 

The Water Protector Legal Collective is an Indigenous- and women-led legal nonprofit organization that provides legal support and advocacy for Indigenous Peoples and Original Nations, the Earth, and climate justice movements. We are committed to continue this work, undaunted, and invite you to join us.

 

Your membership will allow us to:

  • Take on critical impact litigation to protect the Earth and sacred sites from desecration

  • Fight to defend the lifeblood of the Earth–Water–through tireless legal advocacy 

  • Safeguard fundamental human rights, Tribal sovereignty and Indigenous rights, and address the climate crisis in national and international fora 

  • Submit amicus briefs in critical litigation in the federal circuit and Supreme Court

  • Engage fully in international advocacy mechanisms as an organization recognized by the U.N. Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) (available only to membership organizations)

 

There is no other legal organization that is Indigenous-led working at the intersection of human rights and climate justice in partnership with or on behalf of Indigenous Peoples. Your membership will allow us to expand our work to bring Indigenous voices into the law and fill that space. 

 

Hope is a sacred fire. But keeping it alive requires hard work. We welcome you to be a firekeeper of hope with us and become a WPLC member today. Join us in the fight to protect the Earth and Her protectors, to defend the Sacred, and stand resolute now for generations to come.

Seremos millones was a promise we intend to fulfill.

Stay in touch with us!

Ways to give.
