Missing and Murdered Indigenous People
May 3, 2024

Jessica Ross spoke at the first annual 新加坡六合彩开奖 MMIP walk for Missing and Murdered Indigenous People. Tears were shed as participants painted red handprints on their faces. The walk was filled with silence, broken up by the occasional supportive honking from passing vehicles.

Jessica said "When we arrived at the ANSEP building, we shared food and prepared our hearts for reflection. I opened the time of reflection by welcoming attendees to Dena'ina country, followed by how the MMIP crisis is serious and is yet another example of oppression that Indigenous people continue to endure as we face the pressure to disappear. I held back tears as I spoke on how proud I was to see so many stand for those who can no longer stand and speak for those who can no longer speak. Awareness of this crisis ensures that those who have been lost will never be forgotten."
