It’s Never A Strategy To Remain Quiet with Nick Tilsen | A People’s Climate
byThe Nation Magazine

What does true climate justice look like when it’s rooted in sovereignty, resistance, and liberation? 

In this powerful episode of A People’s Climate, Shilpi Chhotray sits down with Nick Tilsen—Oglala Lakota land defender and CEO of NDN Collective—to unpack the meaning of LandBack, the historic fight for the Black Hills, the release of political prisoner Leonard Peltier, and the deep ties between Indigenous struggles and Palestinian resistance. 

From direct action at Mount Rushmore to building legal strategies against unjust laws, this conversation is a call for big, bad bold courage.
