"I recently contributed to the Land Rights Defender Inc. organization and was astounded by their dedication to safeguarding land rights for indigenous populations globally."
I am a proud US veteran and I have had the pleasure of volunteering with the amazing team at Land Rights Defenders Inc. They are a passionate and committed group of individuals who are dedicated to fighting for the rights of indigenous communities around the world.
Today, as we walk the path of legal action, I see the fear in my community replaced by a quiet strength. We are no longer voiceless victims. We are guardians of our land, armed with knowledge and the unyielding support of Land Rights Defenders.
