You can support Indigenous sovereignty and the return of stolen lands to the Lisjan Ohlone Indigenous community.

The Sogorea Te’ Land Trust is an urban Indigenous women-led land trust based in the San Francisco Bay Area that facilitates the return of Indigenous land to Indigenous people. If you rent or own housing in Oakland, Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito, Richmond, San Pablo, San Leandro, Alameda, Piedmont, Hayward, Union City, Fremont, Pleasanton, Castro Valley, Pinole, Livermore, Moraga, Orinda, El Sobrante, Kensington, Danville, Walnut Creek, Martinez, Pleasant Hill, Benicia or Vallejo, you are on stolen Ohlone land and can pay a land tax based on your rent or mortgage payments. The Shuumi Land Tax supports Sogorea Te’s work of rematriation, returning Indigenous land to Indigenous people, and much more.

The Techno-Tamaladas pay into the Shuumi Land Tax because we are based on traditional Lisjan Ohlone Land, support land rematriation, and the numerous projects of the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust. More information at Sogorea Te’ Land Trust.

YOU CAN SUPPORT THE NATIONAL BLACK FOOD & JUSTICE ALLIANCE, WHO ARE COLLECTIVELY CREATING A JUST FOOD & LAND REVOLUTION

The National Black Food & Justice Alliance fights the corporate-dominated food system that prioritizes the maximization of profit over human life. This system is extractive, exploitative, and deeply anti-Black. They state “The National Black Food and Justice Alliance (NBFJA) is a coalition of Black-led organizations aimed at developing Black leadership, supporting Black communities, organizing for Black self-determination, and building institutions for Black food sovereignty & liberation. The Alliance seeks to achieve this by engaging in broad based coalition organizing for Black food and land, increasing visibility of Black-led narratives and work, advancing Black-led visions for just and sustainable communities, and building capacity for self-determination within our local, national, and international food systems and land rights work” (from NBFJA website).

SOUL FIRE FARM HELPS MAKE THE FOOD SYSTEM MORE JUST

Soul Fire Farm is an Afro-Indigenous centered community farm committed to uprooting racism and seeding sovereignty in the food system. Their food sovereignty programs reach over 10,000 people each year, including farmer training for Black and Brown growers, reparations and land return initiatives for northeast farmers, food justice workshops for urban youth, home gardens for city-dwellers living under food apartheid, doorstep harvest delivery for food insecure households, and systems and policy education for public decision-makers.

They provide detailed ways to support the movement at The Action Steps for Food Sovereignty.

The MILPA Collective (MILPA) is a movement space designed for, and led by, formerly incarcerated and system-impacted individuals. They support next-generation infrastructure and leadership within communities, organizations, and systems by centering cultural healing, racial equity and LOVE in their practices and advocacy.

As they state on their website, they work through the following framework: “MILPA is derived from the Uto-Aztecan Nahuatl word “milli” and is an agricultural process that describes the Las Tres Hermanas (3 sisters) planting system. Traditionally, the sisters were corn, beans, and squash, yet they are interchangeable with various other vegetables and fruits. The three crops grow interdependently to support each other. We at MILPA metaphorically use that process to create a working philosophy rooted in anti-colonial and anti-racist ideology. At MILPA, Las Tres Hermanas is metaphorically referenced as culture, consciousness, and movement building.”
