Crowdfund page
Its community-based crowdfunding. Less than 1 % of all financial resources to tackle the climate crisis goes to Indigenous-led organizations. Chautuileo is the co-founder of The Indigenous Liberation Movement (ILM); the global umbrella organization for Indigenous Peoples worldwide. ILM is based in the Netherlands.
Some of the NGOs based in the Netherlands donated a little amount. Yet, its not enough. There is no commitment from NGOs to cover the expenses. This creates a burden of inequality; limited access to the right to equal payment, the right for a safe working environment, free from discrimination and self-determination. This crowdfund will support the Indigenous Peoples involved. It started with the support of a dear friend to help out.
