National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls

Red

Today, we are observing the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. Declared by President Biden on May 5th, 2021, this is a time when Indigenous communities, friends and allies choose to show support by wearing red and gather to remember, honor and give a voice to people whose stories have not been heard. We encourage you to wear red and observe a moment of silence at 12:00 noon.
