   Good morning, friends: There's no time better than now to call/email your representatives and ask them to codify #ICWA in your state. Protect Indigenous children and #NativeSovereignty.

   Info upthread. ⬆️

     Hi. I'm writing bc SCOTUS will likely make a decision on ICWA* very soon. (*Look it up.)

     If they deem #ICWA unconstitutional, #Indigenous families in states w/o local versions of the law will lose vital protections.

     If your state has not yet codified ICWA protections, please, call your local reps & leaders & demand they pass/enforce comprehensive legislation to protect #Native sovereignty & Native families.

     You can look up your reps here: https://openstates.org/find_your_legislator/
