RAVEN is a registered charity with a goal to change the legal system from the inside out. 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 — that’s where RAVEN comes in. RAVEN raises legal funds to assist Indigenous People who enforce their rights and title to protect their territories. Indigenous-led litigation is sparking transformative change across Canada, and RAVEN is grateful to help amplify these voices and support their access to justices that are creating a path towards a more just future for all. Together, we’re building a movement for lasting systemic change!
