The Red Deal is a call for action beyond the scope of the US colonial state. Politicians may or may not follow-it is up to them-but we will design, build, and lead this movement with or without them. Only mass movements can do what the moment demands. It is time to reclaim the life and destiny that has been stolen from us and rise up together to confront this challenge and build a world where all life can thrive. We have barely a decade to turn back the tide of climate disaster. We-Indigenous, Black and people of color, women and trans folks, migrants, and working people-did not create this disaster, but we have inherited it. One-part visionary platform, one-part practical toolkit, the Red Deal is a platform that encompasses everyone, including non-Indigenous comrades and relatives who live on Indigenous land.
Now, in response to popular demand, the Red Nation expands their original statement filling in the histories and ideas that formed it and forwarding an even more powerful case for the actions it demands. Everyone from youth to elders from knowledge keepers to farmers contributed to the creation of The Red Deal.When the Red Nation released their call for a Red Deal, it generated coverage in places from Teen Vogue to Jacobin to the New Republic, was endorsed by the DSA, and has galvanized organizing and action. The Red Deal was written collectively by members of the Red Nation and the allied movements and community members who comprised the Red Deal coalition. Formed to address the marginalization and invisibility of Native struggles within mainstream social justice organizing and to foreground the targeted destruction and violence towards Native life and land. They center Native political agendas and struggles through direct action, advocacy, mobilization, and education. The Red Nation is dedicated to the liberation of Native peoples from capitalism and colonialism. The Red Nation is a coalition of Native and non-Native activists, educators, students, and community organizers advocating Native liberation that formed to address the marginalization and invisibility of Native struggles within mainstream social justice organizing, and to foreground the targeted destruction and violence towards Native life and land.
