#nomorestolensisters — Public Fediverse posts

May 5 is Red Dress Day.

Today, the Rochester Knighthawks organization proudly wears red in support of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWG2S+). Red Dress Day and the national movement reflect upon lives taken too soon, and the red dress serves as a powerful symbol—honoring and reminding us of the urgent need for justice, awareness, and change.

We stand in solidarity with the families, survivors, and communities who continue to seek answers and accountability. Their voices matter, and their loved ones will never be forgotten.

Today is Red Dress Day.

The MMIWG report calls on all governments to, among other things, “support the establishment and long-term sustainable funding of Indigenous-led low-barrier shelters, safe spaces, transition homes, second-stage housing, and services for [those] who are homeless, near homeless, dealing with food insecurity, or in poverty, …”

These are the responsibilities that come with a commitment to reconciliation. #NoMoreStolenSisters #RedDressDay

Helen Betty Osborne was a shy high school student, from #kinosaosipi #firstnation in the Pas to get her education, when she was brutally and randomly killed, just for being an #indigenouswoman. The case remained unsolved for years, and was a watershed for exposing #racism in the #police and #mmiwg2s .

Rest in power.

Today, on the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Relatives (MMIW/R) we honor and remember the missing and murdered Indigenous relatives whose lives were stolen or remain unaccounted for. This crisis is not a coincidence—it’s the result of ongoing settler colonialism that devalues Indigenous life and fuels violence through systems of extraction and erasure. Man camps near oil pipelines and fossil fuel projects have been directly linked to increased rates of trafficking, assault, and disappearances of Indigenous women and relatives. These industries don’t just extract from the land—they extract from our bodies. Colonialism created the hypersexualization and fetishization of Native women, girls, and Two-Spirit relatives—weaponizing desire as domination. The violence we face is not random. It is systemic, it is sanctioned, and it is preventable. We demand more than awareness. We demand an end to extractive economies, an economy based on community care, and a world where our relatives are safe and free to be who they are. #MMIWR #NoMoreStolenSisters #JusticeForMMIWG2S #May5 #NationalDayForMMIWR

Today, on Red Dress Day, we honour and remember the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People.

The red dress symbolizes the lives taken, the voices silenced, and the urgent need for justice and systemic change.

Let us listen, learn, and stand in solidarity.

@Tzipporah This shouldn’t have to be, but I am so glad it exists. Your work is powerful. Thank you for sharing. #NoMoreStolenSisters

I care a lot about this piece. I must have gone through the process of editing, thinking I was done, finding something I wanted to change, editing again, maybe a dozen times.

MMIWG2S--

"In 2016 there were 5,712 incidents reported of Missing or Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S). However, only 116 of those cases were recorded in the Department of Justice database."

Solidarity for Missing and Murdered #Indigenous #Women

"A red hand over the mouth has become the symbol of a growing movement, the #MMIW movement. It stands for all the missing sisters whose voices are not heard. It stands for the silence of the media and law enforcement in the midst of this crisis. It stands for the oppression and subjugation of #Native women who are now rising up to say #NoMoreStolenSisters."
