On March 30, 2023, the Vatican issued a repudiation of the Doctrine of Discovery, a collection of 15th-century papal bulls that supported the invasion and capture of non-Christian lands, and the genocide and enslavement of non-Christian people. The repudiation follows decades of activism by Indigenous nations, Black liberation movements, and their allies around the world.

On Wednesday, April 5 at 1pm EST, we'll host movement partners to discuss what this historic moment means for them, their communities, and the world. Join us to witness and learn from their take on what this means, in their own words. You'll also hear briefly from the N&N Land Justice team about how this moment connects to decisions about land and wealth, and where we can all go from here to create the true "Change of Era" that Pope Francis speaks of.
