A Spiritual Crisis: Healing Alienation from Mother Earth
April is Earth month, and at UU Mass Action, we know that healing our relationship with the Earth is embedded in Indigenous justice.
Our Featured speaker is Kristen Wyman. Kristen is a citizen of the Hassanamisco Band of the Nipmuc tribe in Massachusetts and a longtime advocate for the self-determination of BIPOC communities. For over 15 years, Kristen has worked as a consultant with nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and state and federal agencies including Native Land Conservancy, Nipmuc Indian Development Corporation,and the Mashpee Wampanoag Natural Resources Dept. She has initiated several womxn and youth-led programs in issue areas of gender-based violence and substance abuse prevention, youth development, food sovereignty, and transformative leadership and nonprofit development. Kristen is co-Founder of Eastern Woodlands Rematriation, a network of Indigenous womxn and two-spirits restoring the foundation of sustainable food systems.
We invite you to gather with the UU Mass Action Indigenous Solidarity Team. We organize with the MA Indigenous Legislative Agenda (a statewide grassroots Indigenous led coalition) to win collective political victories for Indigenous justice while also connecting and building community.
