We commemorate the National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls & 2-Spirit Gender Diverse People. We extend our hearts out to the families and community members grieving the loss of mothers, sisters, daughters, aunties, cousins, and loved ones. We acknowledge that action must be taken to seek justice and end violence against Indigenous Women, Girls & Gender Diverse folks.
