To promote conversations about inequality across the globe and compare solutions, Afarin and MADRE recently brought indigenous women from around the world, including representatives from the Sioux Tribe and the Blackfeet Nation, in addition to several foreign countries, to Washington, D.C., to participate in the People’s Climate March. The bridge-building facilitated the identification of universal elements of the inequality faced by different groups and the impact that global climate change has on furthering such inequality. But more important, it allowed different groups to connect in new ways to change their situations.
