The National Partners Working Group on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) and the MMIW Family Advisors have organized a National Week of Action (May 1-May 7, 2023) as a call to action in honor of missing and murdered Indigenous women. This week-long campaign provides a space for inspiring public healing and compelling accountability for this injustice and honors those who have gone missing or have been murdered. It is essential on the broadest level to acknowledge the historic and ongoing, current human suffering and death that global colonization has brought to Indigenous women. Join our united call to action and help grow the groundswell of our grassroots movement to hold ourselves and all systems and sectors of our societies accountable! Enough is enough. No more stolen sisters.
Take action by participating in these virtual events. Please note, the schedule of events corresponds with Mountain Time Zone. For more information, please visit: https://www.niwrc.org/mmiwnatlweek23
