Article Draft
Diné CARE is a Diné (Navajo) activist organization that works on environmental, cultural and social justice campaigns, primarily within the Navajo Nation and the immediately surrounding areas. Diné CARE stands for Diné Citizens Against Ruining Our Environment. Their work has included opposing the creation of toxic waste infrastructure, polluting energy infrastructure, industrial-scale logging, as well as advocating for compensation for people impacted by uranium mining and weapons development as well as for safe use of alcohol.[1][2][3][4][5]
History
Originally called only CARE, the group was founded in 1988 to prevent the construction of a hazardous waste incinerator in the community of Dilkon, on the Navajo Nation.[1][2] CARE's activism also led to the creation of the annual Protecting Mother Earth conferences, at which Indigenous Environmental Network was created.
CARE became Diné CARE at a meeting in xxx in yy year, that combined activists from the Dilkon anti-incinerator activism with other activism... Co-founders included Lori Goodman, Leroy Jackson, Early Tulley and others.
