Climate Operation

Colonialism didn’t end.
It evolved.

The displacement of the Masopisyek from Mt. Elgon is part of a broader system rooted in colonial ideas of land, control, and extraction, systems that still shape policy today.

When Indigenous communities resist, they are not resisting change.
They are resisting erasure.

This is not just history.
This is happening now.

What would justice look like for communities like the Masopisyek?

The Mosopisyek people have lived in relationship with the forests of Mount Elgon for generations. Their livelihoods, knowledge, and culture are deeply tied to the land.

Colonial land policies and later conservation models disrupted this relationship, leading to displacement and an ongoing struggle for land rights.

As we begin sharing the work of EEE2, we start with the history and context of the community we worked with.

Happy new month 🌞

As we step into the weekend and welcome in a new month, we have compiled a dose of hope happening in the climate space!

Over the past week, we’ve had the privilege of working closely with the Mosopisyek, an indigenous community that once thrived in harmony with the forests of Mount Elgon before being displaced. Through a series of creative output workshops, we explored their lived experiences—how they navigate displacement, climate change, and the realities of healthcare in resettlement zones.

We experienced their daily lives, we listened, learned, and walked with them—through community visits, fireside conversations, and hands-on workshops. We saw firsthand how they have adapted to life outside their ancestral home. With restricted access to their forest, they have become skilled farmers, mastering irrigation to sustain their crops. Where healthcare is scarce, they rely on generations of herbal knowledge to treat common ailments.

This is a community that has endured immense hardship, yet their story is not just one of loss—it is also one of resilience and ingenuity. We are committed to telling their story as they have shared it with us: a story of dispossession, but also of adaptation, strength, and an unbreakable connection to their land.
