Red May (Seattle) celebrates the publication of Red Media’s first book, The Red Deal: Indigenous Action to Save Our Earth. Authored by two dozen Indigenous revolutionaries, The Red Deal is a political program for liberation that emerges from the oldest class struggle in the Americas—the Indigenous fight for decolonization.
Offering a profound vision for a decolonized society, The Red Deal is not simply a response to the Green New Deal nor a “bargain” with the elite and powerful. It is a deal with the humble people of the earth; an affirmation that colonialism and capitalism must be overturned for human and other-than-human life to live with dignity. It is a pact with movements for liberation, life, and land for a new world of peace and justice that must come from below and to the left. Join five authors from The Red Nation for a conversation about the book and its significance.
Melanie Yazzie, Orien Longknife, Elena Ortiz, Demetrius Johnson, Cheyenne Antonio.
