Webinar: Rights of Nature & Indigenous Climate Advocacy
2025-11-04 18:00 - 19:00 | Zoom
Join NC WARN and Crystal Cavalier-Keck, a co-founder of 7 Directions of Service and citizen of the Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation, for an education session on climate advocacy through an Indigenous lens, including the importance of Rights of Nature efforts. Rights of Nature incorporates traditional, life-honoring Indigenous perspectives into a Western legal framework; these laws strengthen environmental and community protections by evolving the status of nature from “property” to a rights-bearing entity, like a person. Learn more about how these laws are crucial to climate justice efforts and what a local organization is doing to uplift Indigenous voices in the movement.
Please register by November 4th, 12:00pm (ET):
