Today is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit and Gender Diverse People.
On this day we reflect, remember, and stand in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples. As a settler organization, it is our responsibility to hold space for those impacted by violence, loss, and systemic injustices, as well as to use our voices to amplify these stories and to advocate for justice, especially when it feels uncomfortable.
Today may bring up a lot of emotions for community members. You matter and you are not alone. For support, please consider contacting:
