Land Acknowledgement

 

Located in St. Louis, Missouri, the Fourth City Sisters acknowledge this is the ancestral homeland of the Myaamia, Osage, O-ga-xpa Ma-zhoⁿ, Očhéthi Šakówiŋ, Kiikaapoi, and Kaskaskia Peoples as well as the diverse and vibrant Native communities who make their home here today. As they are the traditional stewards of this land, please join us in celebrating their communities, elders both past and present, as well as future generations. We are committed to the process of working to dismantle the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism.

Though our ministries know no boundaries, the Fourth City Sisters primary area of operation is the Greater St. Louis Metro Area, which may include a multitude of counties and communities surrounding us on all sides of the Three Rivers Area.

 

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion


As a charity, protest, and performance organization, the Fourth City Sisters are united in the urgent need to take concrete steps to dismantle white supremacy in all its forms and move toward a world free of institutional racism, agism, sexism, and handicap discrimination.

The Fourth City Sisters stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters of color, our friends of all genders and abilities, our elders, and our juniors. We will be there to march with you. We will use our voices for you. We will work with you to advance our journey towards justice.
