In this episode, Dani tells us how we can and must change our (US) society.
They recommend reading Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz's books, "An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States" and "Not 'A Nation of Immigrants': Settler Colonialism, White Supremacy, and a History of Erasure and Exclusion" for a comprehensive history of the united states and its founding rooted in the settler-colonialist mindset. They'd also recommend watching HBO's Exterminate all the Brutes for a similar history lesson that does not sugarcoat genocide and is very graphic (so sit this one out if you're not up for that).
Dani also recommend checking out the Tiny House Warrior's new comic titled, "The Fight Against the Transmountain Pipeline" for some background and history of TMX, its Indigenous-led resistance, and the oppression the Warriors face every Day. You can donate the the THW's legal defense fund on their website as well!
