If Not Us Then Who?
Our Vision
A world where communities, led by indigenous peoples, belong to an abundant natural world inspired by resilient storytelling.
Our Mission
Support environmental leadership from indigenous peoples and local communities to build networks and cultivate inclusive impact driven storytelling
If Not Us Then Who is a US registered charity, 501(c)(3) that supports a global awareness campaign highlighting the role indigenous and local peoples play in protecting our planet. We work in partnership with communities to make films, take photographs, curate content, commission local artists and host events. Our work aims to build lasting networks, target unjust policies, and advocate for greater rights for indigenous and local peoples to bring about positive social change.
