✳️ Who is Birdie Sam?✳️

Birdie (they/them) is a 2Spirit Alaskan Tlingit activist fighting for Indigenous and climate justice across the US. They began creating & donating masks at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. Since the summer of 2021, they have been making media content to advocate for Climate Action and to Amplify Indigenous issues, and are now partnered with the independent newsletter Popular.Info.

✳️Is this Tumblr run by Birdie?✳️

Nope, just a supporter. I first followed them on TikTok, and I do what I can to boost their content, amplify actions, and sign petitions as part of my own activism. While they can be found on other social media, I noticed there was very little coverage here on Tumblr about them or their projects. There are lots of allies here that are looking for more ways to make a difference in the fight against climate change, so I started this sideblog as a way to bring those allies more resources and information.

✳️ What do you post here? ✳️

This blog will be sharing and reposting Birdie's videos, information, projects, calls to action, newsletter, and ways to support them, as well as reblogging related and informative news and info. All "original" posts, images, and information are solely the intellectual property of and directly originated from Birdie Sam.
