 I'm here with the Society of Fearless Grandmothers who are holding the streets down for the huge mural project that's going to be taking place here as part of the Rise for Climate Jobs and Justice march. The mural project is our way of lifting up solutions from the grassroots. A lot of people have come out to just paint and be together and fight for climate justice. I think the messages of the murals are really positive and really center on sustainability, with farming, with being together as a people in a community. The concept of dust transitions is really important to the movement because it's really about involving everybody in the transition from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy. My name is Tom Goltuz, I'm the Director of the Indigenous Environmental Network. And the mural that we're doing is right behind me. We are all side protectors to protect the sacredness of sky. That's what this represents and the linking and coming together. The colors of the blue, the colors of the soil. Here we're painting for the salmon. So at the top we have the Flickr headband that is the regalia worn during dance ceremonies. And the Flickr headband represents the fire. Below it's representing the waters. From the mountain streams down to the sea, you know, the salmon cover all that ground. It's always good to see like-minded people in a common space to occupy public space for a common good. The purpose of this project right here are these murals is to really just show that we're all together in our various struggles. Whether fighting for the protection of the salmon, which is behind me, or you're fighting for the protection of the arctic, or you're talking about murder-missing Indigenous women, or you're talking about keeping it in the ground and no carbon offsets. You know, it's all connected. It's all a part of this great system that we're trying to fight against. Laying those messages out in a communal space really helps us bring us together.
