Our network knows all too well the dangers of defending our lands & waters. In these struggles we have experienced brutal crackdowns on land defense, and we have seen our leaders and communities marked as eco-terrorists and harmed by militarized police.

Joye was a true climate justice superhero—helping lead the protests at Standing Rock, the campaign against the Keystone XL pipeline, and so much more.
The best way to honor her legacy is to keep up the fight for climate justice!
