Say Her Name. Who Is Missing.
Beautiful Souls,
This month is National Native American Heritage Month, and we want to help raise awareness and support about an issue that is very important to us. There is a tragic epidemic that is deeply impacting the Native communities, their women and girls are being abducted and murdered at an alarming rate that is ten times higher than the national average.
Young women on reservations are at high risk because these predators know they will not have to face the law, due to jurisdictional issues. Young women and girls in Native communities have to be on much higher alert than almost anyone else.
Please help us spread the word about Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women (MMIW USA ), a non-profit organization that tracks the murdered and indigenous women that have been trafficked.
In 2016 ALONE, 5712 native women were reported murdered or missing, and now they have lost count.
Please take a look and get involved. Keep an eye out for these women, and spread awareness that this is happening. We will continue to fight for these women to feel safe for as long as it takes!

We are presenting a call to remember our missing and murdered native women and girls.
The film director Rain has created two powerful documentaries about this issue. You can watch the trailers here:
