Friend,

There is widespread anger and sadness in First Nations communities. Alarming numbers of women are being stolen from their families through violence, or worse, vanishing without clear answers.

The murder rate for Indigenous women living on reservations is ten times higher than the national average.

Right now, we’re facing a crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW), and more sisters, wives, mothers, and daughters are being taken from their families every day.

The data on missing and murdered indigenous people in the United States is quite sobering.

These powerful statistics represent the dangerous reality Natives face:

American Indian women face murder rates that are more than 10 times the national average
Murder is the 3rd leading cause of death among American Indians and Alaska Natives
In 2016, there were 5,712 reports of missing American Indian and Alaska Native women and girls, although only 116 cases were logged. (Source: The National Crime Information Center)

So the question arises: what can we do about it?

When such a profound issue exists, it's easy to become overwhelmed, asking, "How can I help? What can I do that could make a difference in such an immense problem?"

The answer is simple. It starts with one. One person taking a stand, inviting others to join them in the fight. We can no longer sit back and say, "It's not our problem; there's nothing we can do about it." It is our problem.

In order to stop this victimization of Native sisters, the world must be educated. Then, prevention can begin. Here's how we help:

Education. Change. Prevention.

We hope that you'll join us in our efforts, learn more about this crisis, and speak and work for justice. Join us in this cry, both in our personal friendships and as we advocate on social media — use #NoMoreStolenSisters to help spread the word.

There are two important days on the calendar for the MMIW cause: February 14 and May 5.

February 14 is MMIW National Day of Action and Awareness. On this day, activist groups organize Women's Memorial Marches around the country to protest class disparity, racism, inequality, and violence against Native Americans. The largest march takes place in Vancouver, BC, and has become a central point in the fight against MMIW.

May 5 is the official MMIW Day and is the most widely celebrated across the US and Canada. Every year, there are marches, protests, bike rides, fundraisers, and more to raise awareness for the MMIW cause and fight against the injustice that's happening to Native women and their families every day.

NOW is the perfect time to take action.
