Idle No More SF Bay was founded in 2013 by a group of Indigenous grandmothers who had been praying together since 2007.  Over the years, some grandmothers left and others joined.  Idle No More has been composed of a core group of people in their 20s to 70s.  In 2019, INM received funding for an Intergenerational Program to transfer wisdom, skills, and knowledge from the grandmother to the younger members.  In January of 2020, after many workshops and retreats, the founding grandmothers now function as advisors to INM SF Bay.  The other members are now the decision makers and organizers.  Idle No More SF Bay can be reached at inmsfbay@gmail.com

Support "Every Step A Prayer:  Refinery Corridor Healing Walks" film.
Idle No More SF Bay is for clean air, water, and soil, and for a vibrantly healthy future.

Inspired by the First Nations Idle No More movement, we are a group of Native Americans and allies working together to create positive change concerning Indigenous rights, the rights of Mother Earth, and the rights of the coming generations to a sustainable and healthy environment.

We are all together in this time of shifting from human practices that are destroying our ability to exist to the beautiful and sustainable future that so many are not only imagining, but making a reality in communities around the world. It will take the best in all of us to create the best possible future for coming generations. You are welcome to join us to be part of the inspiring solutions!
Idle No More SF Bay helps organize the Native American community in the San Francisco Bay Area to attend the marches and actions that are in alignment with our values.   We have also conducted solidarity actions with our First Nations sisters and brothers at the Canadian Consulate, as well as organized actions at the many fossil fuel facilities in the area. 

Refinery Corridor
Healing Walks

In 2014, inspired by the Tar Sands Healing Walks in Alberta, Canada, we were inspired to organize a series of healing walks along the refinery corridor in the Northeast San Francisco Bay where there are five oil refineries.  These walks occur once a month, over four months, for a period of four years through 2017.
