Today, we honour missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people, and stand with the families and communities seeking answers and justice. Take time to read the National Inquiry’s 231 Calls for Justice, then put that learning into action. Write to your elected representatives, urge implementation, and ask what steps they are taking. Our commitment to safety and justice must continue beyond October 4. #MMIWG2S #NoMoreStolenSisters #ReconciliACTION #REDressProject
