Freedom of the Land

Freedom of the Land is a collection of essays, letters and poetics about what a just society and generative Earth look like, and how to make it real for us and all generations. This book is for the movement for social and environmental justice. In the face of the crises before us and already upon us, this book seeks to speak about "how." How we overcome. How we care for each other. How we end injustice. How we dismantle systemic oppression. How we restore the Nature World. On Friday September 27th, 2019 we march together as one global family in fierce love for the Earth and all Her Relations, to demand reparations and restoration, to defend the lands and waters as sacred, and to declare that a just and generative world is incontestably realistic. This book has been written for the day the Earth’s people strike for each other, for our ancestors, and for futures. It is for this movement, from this movement, and for this moment.

Freedom of the Land is about how in the midst of oppression, we joined as one movement for the commonplaces and transformed our destructive systems into ones of generation, for all generations. Because nothing can ever destroy our capacity to nurture, our capacity to love, and our sense of justice. We did this all together.

No greater power exists than the love humans can have for each other and the Earth, and the love Earth has for us. Legitimizing and mobilizing this power, once and for all, may serve as the great defence of Nature and Her people, at the precise time it is needed most.

Every one has a revolutionary space before them.

We are born for the task before us.

There is hope beneath our feet.
