Join us in prayer on the
National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIWR)
Tuesday, May 5
Wear something red!
The Red Dress is the symbol for women's heart disease awareness and also for awareness of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW).
First conceived in 2010 by artist Jaime Black, the REDress Project represents MMIW remembrance and justice.
Empty red dresses hanging in public space are a tangible way to express grief, demand accountability, and stand in solidarity.
