This Mother’s Day, celebrate all the badass mothers out there... and the one who gave life to us all.

Mother Earth has fed us, protected us, and held us. And now she needs us to do the same.

In the Amazon, oil extraction threatens Indigenous lands, cultures, and futures. Defending life means defending the forest. And Indigenous mothers like Nemonte are showing what that love in action looks like.

Watch Mother of the Forest and honor Mother’s Day by standing with those protecting the Earth.

Because love isn’t just a feeling. It’s a fight.

Stay tuned. We’ll need you in it.

There are places that you visit, and there are places that change you. We had the extraordinary privilege of traveling to Klemtu and spending time at @spiritbearbc to sit quietly on the land and witness one of the rarest bears in the world- the Spirit Bear. What makes this place even more extraordinary is that the Kitasoo Xai’xais Nations are not simply inviting people to come see their land, they are stewarding it. The community protects the land and waters they have cared for since time immemorial. They have banned bear hunting in their territory. They are protecting wildlife, monitoring ecosystems, restoring habitat, and creating a model for so many others.

We are living through a time when some of our last pristine places are still being treated as commodities. To witness spirit bears, grizzly bears, black bears, sea wolves, orcas, fin whales, humpbacks, bald eagles, salmon, birds, kelp forests, ancient trees, and all the creatures that make this ecosystem whole was an extraordinary privilege. But the greatest privilege was seeing what happens when a community has the authority to care for its own homeland. There is so much the rest of us can learn from that.

Thank you to Doug Neasloss, Roxanne Robinson, Heather, Cassandra, Krista, Justin, Christa, Cat, Wendy, the Spirit Bear Lodge team, and the entire Kitasoo Xai’xais community for sharing this place, your knowledge, your stories, and your vision with us. And may we understand that when land stays in Indigenous hands, extraordinary things can happen
Forever grateful. 🐻❤️

There are few experiences that can capture the immense power, beauty, sacredness, and humbling force of the natural world quite like witnessing the eruption of Kilauea in Hawaiʻi on the full moon. Standing before the flowing lava was a reminder of how small we are, how alive our planet is, and how much there is to honor beyond ourselves. Just for perspective on our distance, the clouds above of heat and ash reached heights of 19,000 feet above sea level!

For many Native Hawaiians, Pele is revered as the deity whose presence is intimately connected with Halemaʻumaʻu at Kīlauea. To witness this place was a profound privilege, and we do so with gratitude and respect for the land, its people, and the cultural traditions that continue to steward its stories and significance.

Mahalo to No’eau, Haley, and everyone at @huimau_ohana for your generosity and the world-changing work that brought us here. And thank you, Victoria, for continuing to illuminate paths forward and create opportunities for connection. ❤️❤️❤️ by @ligcollective

See the award-winning film in theaters this weekend and let’s send a powerful message to the powers that be; there is a demand for politically-minded documentaries that platform the most urgent and vital issues of our time!

Across Coast Salish territory in the Pacific Northwest, Children of the Setting Sun Productions is using storytelling to preserve culture, support community, and reconnect people with traditional knowledge.

We had the honor of writing a new piece for Ishkode Fund about their work, from salmon restoration to creating pathways for Indigenous youth in media and storytelling.

For them, storytelling is more than creative expression. It’s a way of carrying knowledge forward - something that carries through in their new film, The River Remembers, which asks us to see rivers not as resources, but as living systems.

Every artist, every scientist, every writer must decide now where he stands. The artist must take sides. He must elect to fight for freedom or for slavery. I have made my choice. I had no alternative. - Paul Robeson

Solidarity with oppressed people everywhere. All empires crumble and not choosing a side is taking a side.
