No One is Illegal on Stolen Land: How we can keep undocumented relatives safe
At Honor The Earth, we believe that no one is illegal on stolen land and that the so-called “migrant crisis” is best understood as a crisis manufactured and created by colonialism.

Tribal Water Quality Standards are Crucial for Protecting Clean Water from Dangerous Mining Proposals
The United States government's current plan to move towards “clean” energy sources and away from fossil fuels is to mine the Earth for massive amounts of minerals and metals. This plan is anything but clean. Mining creates toxic byproducts that are nearly impossible to clean up. Replacing one heavily polluting industry with another will be a grave mistake that we cannot afford to make.
