Every dress tells a story

 

On May 5, Canadians honour the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people.

We work in traditional territories on routes that connect families, Nations and communities. Getting people home safe is what we do. Red Dress Day reminds us that too many Indigenous women never made it home.

This year Unifor is calling for a national emergency alert system for missing Indigenous women, pushing for faster action when someone goes missing.

Communities will gather in places New Westminster, Pitt Meadows, Duncan, Hope and Kamloops to honour those lost, support families, and demand accountability.

We remember those who are missing. We remember those who were taken. We stand with the families still searching for answers. And we recommit ourselves to justice, visibility, and action.

In solidarity,
