Students from FH Calls to Action club made and hung up these red dresses today, honoring missing Indigenous girls and women who are disproportionately affected by violence. #RedDressDay #awareness #MMIWG2S #sd36learn #SocialJustice

Today is National Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples (MMIP) Awareness Day, also known as Red Dress Day. This date was chosen to honor the life of Hanna Harris (Northern Cheyenne), who was murdered in July 2013 and would have turned 32 today. “This is a day to honor the women, girls, and LGBTQ+ people affected by the genocide that’s been ongoing since 1492,” said journalist and activist Brandi Morin. And for her, it’s impossible to separate gender-based violence from the environment—and the fight for a healthier planet. “This violence is intrinsically connected to the land. Survivors are on the forefront of the fight for the land, because they know what it’s like not to give consent.” 🎥 Directed by @bmorinstories, shot/edited by @geordieday in partnership with @themeteor.
