[ CW: anti-indigenous racism, murder, children in distress ] a young Indigenous girl named chanel was placed into the foster system and placed with a racist family who post about her like she's an accessory. full story here but i'll explain inside. please replurk.
she's from Alaska and very much belongs with her grandmother after her mother was killed by her father.
there's a petition to sign and the people who run the site / campaign are asking this to be shared far and wide to get this girl where she belongs, with people who love and value her.
please replurk and share this. systematic violence towards indigenous people in turtle island is still very much a thing we face.
this is my private account and i'll likely respond here.

Signed and shared/replurked
there’s going to be a transition period to bring Chanel back to where she belongs but the white woman she’s been placed with is highly likely to try some yt fuckshit she has already tried before. it’s not exactly bad if this yt woman honors the transitions period, but ... well. it’s unlikely she will do so
arlene is chanel’s maternal grandmother btw and is the person that chanel belongs with.

earthykitty: thank you!
i think at this point getting the word out is more what should be focused on since chanel had her hearing on the 17th of july. i'll check to see what else can be done but the campaign site is here
