May 5th is National Day of Awareness and Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Peoples. On this day, Indigenous families, advocates, and Tribal Nations have risen to shine a light on this crisis, strengthen community action, and uplift the voices of surviving family members.
Together, we can continue to call for visibility, support, and positive change to protect Indigenous women, girls, and relatives. It’s time to fight for justice, accountability, action, healing, and safety for all our people.
There are ways we can show our support:
- Wear red on May 5th
- Safely attend an event, march, or rally
- Stay informed and educated
- Use your voice to speak up for the unheard
The MMIWP epidemic deeply impacts Indigenous and Alaska Native communities. By continuing to bring awareness, we can make sure they are never forgotten.
