Tó Nizhóní Ání was invited to attend World Water Week 2024 in Stockholm, Sweden, and to participate in the panel on Green Colonialism: Indigenous Youth for a Peaceful and Sustainable Future.

With your help, Tó Nizhóní Ání can send a delegation of Diné (Navajo) youth (at least 10) from the Black Mesa region to represent the Diné grassroots and speak on the need to Protect Water, especially in the face of false solutions being pushed onto our Diné people here in the southwestern United States.

We will share our experiences of bearing the cost of coal mining and water mining in our region of Black Mesa and the lessons learned that have shaped our goals for tomorrow. We will share what a Just Equitable Transition looks like in the Southwest and the actions we are taking today to ensure that there will be clean drinking water for generations to come. We are looking forward to sharing solutions that have emerged from our experiences.

By donating to our charity fundraiser, you are directly impacting the lives of the Black Mesa youth. Your contribution will enable them to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share and continue the work of water protection on Dził Yíjiin (the Black Mesa region). Together, we can create a more sustainable, equitable future guided by the Diné communities we empower and uplift. Your support is invaluable and greatly appreciated.
