Native and Indigenous communities in the US have long borne the pain of gun violence, from mass shootings to high rates of suicide, firearms used in gender-based violence, and police violence. Yet, many in these communities find themselves cut off from the democratic processes that would allow them to bring about changes necessary for basic public safety. To unpack a long history of mistreatment, firearms, and disenfranchisement--and the fight to get out the vote--Kelly and JJ are joined by Sikowis aka Christine Nobiss (Plains Cree/Saulteaux, George Gordon First Nation), a Decolonizer and a current co-chair and founder with Great Plains Action Society.Mentioned in this podcast:Left, Right and Center Presents: Diaries of a Divided Nation 2020 (Kcrew)  Native Voter Project (Great Plains Action Society)Every Native Voice Counts (Native Vote)Here’s How Indigenous Women Are Fighting For Legislation That Protects Women From Violence (Bustle)Learn and Decolonize (Seeding Sovereignty) The Second Amendment : A Sacred Covenant of Ethnic Cleansing and Slavery Between the Nation State and Settler Militias (Zine)For more information on Brady, follow us on social media @Bradybuzz or visit our website at bradyunited.org.Full transcripts and bibliographies of this episode are available at bradyunited.org/podcast.Right now, RBB listeners have an opportunity to get 70% off on a 2 year plan with NordVPN by clicking this link!National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255. Music provided by: David “Drumcrazie” CurbySpecial thanks to Hogan Lovells for their long-standing legal support ℗&amp;©2019 Red, Blue, and BradySupport the showFor more information on Brady, follow us on social media @Bradybuzz or visit our website at bradyunited.org.Full transcripts and bibliographies of this episode are available at bradyunited.org/podcast.National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255.In a crisis?

87: Decolonizing the Vote with Christine Nobiss

Indigenous communities face all kinds of injustice—from violence to poverty to climate change. Yet their voices are often absent from policy discussions. We talk with Seeding Sovereignty’s Christine Nobiss about what it would look like to follow the lead of Indigenous people, and why violence against Indigenous women needs much more of our attention. (This episode discusses sexual and domestic violence—please take care of yourself while listening.) Christine is a Plains Cree-Saulteaux writer, artist, and organizer based in Iowa. She leads several projects with Seeding Sovereignty, an organization empowering the political voice of Indigenous peoples.  Indigenous women have managed to tenaciously keep our culture together, and keep our children healthy, and our communities going. We are the walking embodiments of a social impact strategy. —Christine Nobiss, decolonizer, Seeding Sovereignty  We talk about:  How Seeding Sovereignty empowers Indigenous peoples’ political voice How Christine got her start as an activist and organizer, what it means to be a decolonizer, plus what she’s working on now The power of tapping into younger—and older—generations to build an activist movement  Links:  Twitter Christine’s column on Bustle Christine interviewing Elizabeth Warren Seeding Sovereignty SHIFT, Seeding Sovereignty’s political engagement program Accomplices Not Allies  Plus  We dig deeper into the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in the U.S. and Canada We check in on the status of the still-not-renewed (!!) Violence Against Women Act, and why it needs everyone’s attention And a big fuck yeah to running a 10k together, and swinging by Federal Donuts after. (Fun fact: this podcast became an idea during a run!)
