Earth Daughters emerged on June 23, 2020, through a collective mutual aid effort grounded in Indigenous strength, care, and solidarity. In the aftermath of a devastating 7.5 magnitude earthquake in Oaxaca's Sierra Sur, our founder, Dr. Jessica Hernandez, launched the first mutual aid campaign, rapidly mobilizing resources to deliver over 3 tons of food and rebuild 200 homes for the families most affected.
For several years, we operated as a mutual aid collective, growing from that pivotal beginning into a powerful force for grassroots change, advancing mutual aid and Indigenous-centered research that honors sovereignty, Indigenous science, and self-determination. Whether responding to disasters or addressing the ongoing impacts of climate change, the organization has remained steadfast, walking alongside communities with compassion, courage, and a shared responsibility to protect land, life, and future generations. In late 2025, Earth Daughters formally became a nonprofit organization under Dr. Hernandez's leadership, expanding its capacity to support transnational Indigenous leadership and deepening its long-term commitment to community-led climate justice. |
