Indigenous Peoples Day in Philly!
TAKE ACTION
In January, Indigenous Peoples’ Day Philly officially launched its Year of Awareness, a multimedia coordinated effort to celebrate, defend, and restore Indigenous Peoples’ Day in Philadelphia following a court decision that overturned the former mayor’s executive order and reinstated Columbus Day.
Throughout the year, we are:
- Publishing a monthly newsletter From the Movement Desk with movement updates, resources, and calls to action
- Hosting monthly community meetings to inform, mobilize, and build collective power
- Launching a petition calling for the official reinstatement of Indigenous Peoples’ Day
- Sharing content on key moments — 1492, 1892, 1992, & today — and their lasting impact
- Celebrating our growing movement that is rooted in history, community, and 10 years of Indigenous-led advocacy
Attend our Meetings
