A THREAD: Today’s #InaugurationDay . What does a @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris presidency mean for Indian Country?

Biden is expected to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline permit on his 1st day in office, but that’s due to decades of grassroots efforts led by Indigenous orgs. Ending the Keystone pipeline would reverse the legacy of our country’s exploitation and destruction of Indigenous lands.

We’re losing our relatives at disproportionate rates to #COVID. Biden hopes to have 100 mil ppl vaccinated in his first 100 days in office. Will he prioritize communities hit hardest by COVID? How will his office support messaging efforts about the vaccine to AIAN communities?

In light of the recent capitol attacks, how will the Biden admin address our country’s issue w/ white supremacy? Will Biden acknowledge the double standards of our country when it comes to systems that oppress & kill BIPOC while white supremacists incite violence but go unharmed?

On #InaugurationDay we call on all relatives & allies to join us in the continued fight toward justice, healing & liberation as we hold the Biden-Harris administration accountable to the responsibilities they have to Native peoples.
