Justine Teba is from the Pueblos of Santa Clara, Tesuque and Acoma. Teba is an Indigenous organizer for The Red Nation (TRN) in Tiwa Territory in Albuquerque, NM.
TRN is a group of Native and non-Native activists, educators, students, and community organizers advocating for Native liberation. The organization was founded in 2014 by Melanie Yazzie and Nick Estes to address the marginalization and invisibility of Native struggles within mainstream social justice organizing.
“Every Sunday we do a mutual aid distribution in the streets, where it is overwhelmingly unsheltered Black and Indigenous relatives who we find,” said Teba.
The TRN website describes their group as “a coalition of Native and non-Native activists, educators, students, and community organizers advocating Native liberation.”
