"People say that Indians have bigger problems than mascots and use of Native American images, but I disagree. If you can't see me as an individual, then how can you understand the problems we have as a people?" 
-- Frank LaMere, Winnebago

EONM (Eradicating Offensive Native Mascotry) is a grassroots movement combating the damaging appropriation of Native American imagery. Native Americans are not mascots. Native Americans are modern, living human beings who deserve to be valued in our society. 
 

NO LONGER WILL WE BE SILENT ABOUT THOSE WHO PROFIT FROM BLATANT RACISM. 

 
Why We Need Your Help
On Nov. 2, Jacqueline Keeler and Jennie Stockle, two of the founding members of EONM, will be traveling to Minnesota to join the protest against the R-skins as they play the Minnesota Vikings at the University of Minnesota’s TCF Bank Stadium. You can read more about the protest at http://wapo.st/ZmqZsY. This campaign is to raise funds for their travel expenses, lodging and food. Members of EONM are entirely volunteer and self-funded. This is my first crowd-funding effort to help these amazing women, as they have already invested so much in this this important cause.
 
EONM has been critical part of raising the the conversation about mascotry and bringing the discussion to a national level. Jacqueline is a prolific writer and has written several published essays regarding the topic and given numerous interviews. Jennie works diligently writing about the cause and supporting the movement. 
 
Help Jennie and Jacqueline bring the powerful voice of presence of EONM to this important event. Jacqueline has been invited to speak, and Jennie will be posting live updates to social media.
