On April 20, NDN Collective announced the launch of the LANDBACK Action Network, a new organizing and resource network aimed at strengthening the LandBack movement, according to an NDN Collective news release. The group said the network will connect Indigenous people, organizations, grassroots groups, tribal nations, multiracial movement organizations, organizers and allies working to return land to Indigenous stewardship. The network also launched a new public storytelling platform at landback.org, according to the release. 

Nick Tilsen, founder and CEO of NDN Collective, said the network will connect Indigenous people across Turtle Island, Oceania and beyond while supporting land-based practices such as food sovereignty, cultural and spiritual reconnection and ecological restoration. Nicole Yanes, membership manager at NDN Collective, said the network is intended to build collective power and support organizers during state violence, climate disasters and displacement, according to the release.
