Collectively inciting hope and calling for action
We invite you to join us in learning, amplifying, and taking action about the MMIW/R/P crisis.

Native women face murder rates up to 10x the national average.

There are currently over 5,500 missing or murdered Indigenous women and girls—and this is a conservative estimate.

Murder is the 3rd leading cause of death for Native women.

The crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Relatives (MMIW/R/P) in the United States remains largely under the general public radar.

This epidemic has deep roots in white settler genocidal oppression, typified by encroachment on tribal sovereignty, a history of violence and devaluation of Native life, and a justice system that was never established to protect Indigenous people.
