May 5 is National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls

Re-circulated by the New Westminster & District Labour Council

May 5th is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. We stand in solidarity and say #NoMoreStolenSisters. Everyone is encouraged to wear red to raise awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. The history of Red Dress Day can be traced back to the REDress Project. The purpose of the project is to highlight the epidemic of violence against Indigenous women, with each red dress symbolizing an Indigenous woman who has been murdered or is missing.
