A Call to Men is offering an opportunity to join an online community for Indigenous men, led by Indigenous men, to talk about Indigenous manhood, and prevent violence against Indigenous women and girls. Because, as the Hopi People have stated, “we are the ones we have been waiting for.”In these virtual talking circles, participants will collectively reflect and share sacred words about how male socialization manifests in our lives, relationships, and communities. Together, we will embrace the character and vision of our ancestors, pre-invasion. We will bring forth the will of our ancestors by fulfilling the obligations of warriors as we collectively define them – to love and protect our communities. These talking circles will culminate into a call to action – a ceremonial run for the healing of Indigenous men – for the capacity to love and feel loved, to know and express need and emotion, to heal from structural and colonial violence, for redemption from self and communal destruction, for recovery from substance use, and for healing in Indigenous communities.
A Call to Warriors seeks to promote healing, accountability, justice, and liberation for ALL. We hope to have you with us.
A Call to Warriors will be held on the final Wednesday of each month from 4 – 5:30 p.m. ET. Each session will be over Zoom, and video participation is required.
There is no charge to attend, but participants must RSVP. Please contact Jesus “Chucho” Ruiz at chucho@acalltomen.org with any questions.
