Today, on #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honor the histories, cultures, resilience, sovereignty, & ongoing leadership of Indigenous peoples, whose stewardship of the land & water continues to shape movements for environmental justice.

Over the past several weeks, we witnessed the power of that leadership through the #WomensWaterWalk, a 108-mile journey to protect New York’s waterways from the proposed Constitution Pipeline. The walk began with a call to action from Grandmother Mona Polacca, a Hopi/Havasupai/Tewa elder & one of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers. People from across the country answered that call, coming together in prayer, solidarity, & a shared commitment to protecting water for future generations.

The experience offered an important reminder about what meaningful solidarity looks like. There's a difference between speaking over a community & using your time, access, & capacity to carry out work that community leaders have entrusted you to do.

Indigenous communities shouldn't be expected to shoulder the burden of confronting environmental destruction alone, particularly when so much of that destruction is rooted in systems of colonization, extraction, & exploitation. As allies, we have a responsibility to listen, build relationships of trust, & use our resources & capacity to support Indigenous-led efforts without centering ourselves.

Indigenous leadership isn't simply something to celebrate. It's something to respect, defend, & follow. And honoring Indigenous peoples means more than acknowledging the injustices of the past. It means standing alongside Indigenous communities as they defend their sovereignty, protect their homelands, & shape their own futures today.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Grandmother Mona, the Indigenous elders & leaders who guided the Women’s Water Walk, & every organizer, volunteer, & walker who answered the call to protect our water. Solidarity isn't just what we say. It's what we're willing to do, whose leadership we choose to follow, & the responsibility we share to protect the land, water, & future generations. #WaterIsLife #StoptheCON by @stop.the.con

A farm isn't just land. It's a legacy.

Healthy farmland is built over generations, and so is the soil beneath it. When pipeline construction compacts soil or disrupts its natural structure, the impacts can last long after construction crews leave. For many farmers, the concern isn't just one season of lost crops but the long-term productivity of land they'll pass on to future generations.

That's why many call it a lifetime loss, not a temporary inconvenience. Join us to #StopTheCON. Sources in bio. by @stop.the.con

What does it take to bring people together across political divides? Sometimes, it starts with protecting the place you call home.

Actor and advocate @MarkRuffalo joined supporters of the Women’s Water Walk and spoke about the power of finding common ground, even when we don’t agree on everything.

Stopping the Constitution Pipeline doesn’t have to be about left vs. right. People across #Pennsylvania and #NewYork can have different politics and still share the same concerns about protecting their water, their land, their homes and their communities.

We don’t have to agree on everything to stand together on this. No matter your politics, we can agree. We must #StopTheCON. Take action at the link in our bio! taken in Catskills NY by @stop.the.con

The @WomensWaterWalk may be over, but the reasons people walked didn’t end when the final mile was finished.

Karenna Gore of the @CenterforEarthEthics joined the walk to stand alongside the Indigenous women, landowners, community members, and supporters coming together to protect water and oppose the Constitution Pipeline.

As we continue the work to #StopTheCON, we want to keep hearing why people are part of this movement. Why did you walk? Why did you stand in solidarity? Why do you want to protect these waters and communities?

Film a short video telling us your #WhyIWalk, post it to social media, and tag Stop the CON so we can uplift your story. by @stop.the.con

Meet Elder Cheryl Angel. She is an Indigenous leader, a wise (Sioux) Lakota elder, and a lifelong, devoted water protector who helped initiate and maintain the Standing Rock camp beginning in April 2016. Her voice among the water protectors integrates deep prayer with nonviolent direct action.

You don’t have to live along the route of the #ConstitutionPipeline to stand with the communities fighting it.

Misha Mayeur of @Habitat.Recovery.Project joined the @WomensWaterWalk in solidarity from #Louisiana, where communities know firsthand what it means to live alongside pipelines, fossil fuel infrastructure, and industrial development.

We want to hear from you! Film a short video telling us your #WhyIWalk, post it to social media, and tag us so we can uplift your story. Every voice helps us #StopTheCON! by @stop.the.con
