May 5th – Red Dress Day
Today, Nishnawbe Aski Nation honours the lives that have been taken too soon, stand with families and communities still seeking justice, and raise our voices for those who can no longer speak.
This is not just a day of remembrance—it is a CALL TO ACTION. First Nation women, girls, men, and two-spirit people continue to face disproportionate levels of violence. We must listen, learn, and work together to end this crisis.
You can help by:
• Wearing red to show your support
• Educating yourself and others
• Attending commemorative events within your communities
• Advocating for change
Stand in Unity to End Violence.
