Community
Just the Goods is grateful for the important work undertaken by organizations that help to make the world a better place through Indigenous leadership with a focus on decolonization, and related human and environmental rights, including migrant rights. We are honoured to regard these groups as part of our wider community and strive to partner in as many ways possible ranging from donations (both financial, and in-kind to support various fundraising initiatives) and signal boosting/information sharing to encourage community building.

RAVEN Trust
Indigenous Peoples in Canada have some of the most powerful environmental rights in the world—but only if they can afford to uphold them in court. A registered Canadian charity (#85484 0147 RR0001) and a US 501(c)(3) organization (EIN 98-0628334), RAVEN supports Indigenous Peoples in enforcing their rights and title in court to protect their lands, sovereignty, and ways of being. We do this by partnering with Indigenous communities to bring legal actions that seek redress for violations to their lands and rights. Indigenous-led litigation is sparking transformative change across Canada, and every campaign we take on is an opportunity to redefine justice through setting legal precedents that aim to return stewardship and sovereignty to First Peoples. Through fundraising and public education activities, RAVEN is committed to advancing Indigenous rights and taking action for our shared futures by establishing environmental legacies.
Since 2009, our campaigning and fundraising activities have led to legal victories that have protected lands and sacred sites, upheld modern Treaty rights, stopped pipelines, and defended the land from open-pit mining. After fifteen years, RAVEN-supported cases have been cited over 445 times in other court cases, contributing to systemic change that addresses the climate crisis by honouring Indigenous Peoples’ right to free, prior, and informed consent. Together, we root into the power of movement building to actualize a future that upholds Indigenous laws and ways of being.
By supporting RAVEN, you are part of a movement that increases access to justice so that Indigenous Peoples can afford to assert their rights and reclaim environmental stewardship through litigation against colonial governments and extractive corporations. What is at stake for Indigenous Peoples is at stake for everyone: basic rights to clean water and abundant lands that support ecosystems for all life and for all generations.
