We are holding Jacob Johns, Indigenous climate activist, artist, musician, father, and Unitarian Universalist in great care and invite you to join us in supporting Jacob in his healing and organizing journey.
Jacob was shot in the chest on the morning of Thursday, September 28, during a No Juan de Oñate Statue peaceful protest in Tewa territory (more commonly known as Española, New Mexico) and is currently in the ICU. This protest was in response to local plans to build a conquistador monument.
There are two ways you can financially support Jacob during this most difficult time and through the long haul of recovery:
- Via the GoFundMe platform which has been launched for Jacob: https://gofund.me/0a63153a
- Via the Backbone Campaign, in support of Jacob’s ongoing Community Supported Organizing page, where tax-deductible donations can be made: https://www.backbonecampaign.org/jacob
