Today is May 5th, and I ask you, on behalf of my Indigenous sisters whose voices have been permanently silenced, in a country where we have been Othered to near extinction, to remember the stolen sisters. Wear a red dress today to remind people that thousands of Indigenous women go missing and are murdered every. single. year with very little interest, recourse, or even investigation. Wear a red dress today, so that when our neighbours see us, they see us in solidarity with the silent and the lost. Remind people that cultural genocide has occurred and continues to occur in the most vulnerable spaces of our society. Wear a red dress today to remind those around us that we remember and that we speak for these women and girls and will not forget and will continue to work to bring them the justice that they deserve. .
.
.
Today, wear red. Fill social media with our determination. Flood the feeds with red dresses and the hashtags #mmiwg and #mmiw. Speak for my sisters. Speak for your sisters. Speak for the voiceless.
