Eaton Workshop

Donate for Masks & Supplies to Native Nations

An emergency coalition of the Indigenous Environmental Network, Movement Rights, T.E.J.A.S., Idle No more SF Bay, Amazon Watch, and Eaton Workshop have come together to raise funds to get COVID-19 Emergency PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) Masks and Supplies to Native Nations’ Medics and Communities.

 

Native nations are swiftly being hit by the coronavirus; one of the communities this effort will serve, the Navajo Nation, has a higher infection rate per capita than any state other than NY and NJ. The infection and death rate on the Navajo Nation alone is 10 times higher than the state of Arizona, despite the fact that the tribe reported its first case of Coronavirus 51 days after Arizona. This scenario is playing out all across Indian Country.

 

The Coronavirus is Deadly for Native communities, due to tribal and urban medical clinics lacking staffing, equipment, capacity, and funding; increased health and pre-existing medical condition risk factors faced in Native communities; and poverty, access to clean water and food scarcity.

 

Our PPE partners have created an Emergency Pipeline including sourcing, purchasing and distributing PPE to medical facilities and communities most in need throughout Indian Country. Through our collective network of allies we have identified reputable and certified sources for securing masks from abroad and within the US. We have identified Native health facilities to receive large shipments of PPE. We are also working to facilitate tribes and health services to order directly from these same suppliers. 

 

We can’t do it without you. Help us raise $200,000 to provide Native American communities and medical staff personal protection equipment (PPE) including N95, KN95 and surgical masks, gowns, gloves, medical-grade disinfectant liquids and wipes, medical equipment, and other community needs. Every dollar we raise will go to those most in need. With our elders, the living bearers of our cultures and histories, at highest risk, Indian Country has so much at stake in this moment.
