Familia, asking that you keep our PDJ runners in your daily prayers. Please pray for their safety and well-being.
Recently they encountered some problems crossing the manmade borders of Abia Yala. A entire contingent of runners 8 US, 7 Mexicas, 2 Jamaican, and 1 Salvadorian were held at one of the border crossings to under bad weather conditions. They had to go the embassy of the country they were not allowed to enter. They had to pay for visas that originally were not needed to then be allowed to continue. They were also exposed to tear gas attacks while in a prayer circle with our Garifuna relatives who were marching against injustice.The entire PDJ family immediately went into action to do whatever was necessary for our runners. Phone calls were made and money was sent to successfully resolve the issues and avoid any further delays and or problems. Our runners are now safe and moving forward. As an Abuela and member of the PDJ family words are not enough to express how proud I feel to be part such a beautiful caring and powerful circle of warriors :) PDJ warriors.
With that said, we again will ask that you help with any donation that you can afford so we can continue to move forward. Please keep to mind that all Indigenous actions big or small are connected. The warriors defending mother earth and our rights as Indigenous nations are being attacked on many fronts. This is why many of our runners went to Standing Rock to help, support and defend alongside other native nations and peoples of kindred spirit our relatives.
This is why PDJ runners joined our relatives in action against injustice in other areas of Abya Yala, and why our runners carry our power of prayer and ancestral wisdom across all of Abya Yala.
Every stand against the injustice being propelled against our people and nations needs our help and our support. So please take a moment to reflect and to help by donating whatever you can.
PDJ Closing ceremonies can also use donations for food and housing as well some of our people will need help in getting back home after being away from their families for months.You can send your donation via PayPal to
