Violence against Indigenous women, Two Spirit folks, and girls is a national tragedy.

Join us for a gathering, walk along the Yukon River, and a bonfire on Front Street in solidarity to raise awareness about the indigenous women, girls, and Two Spirit people who have been and continue to be murdered or disappear. Everyone is welcome.

We come together and demand action to prevent the loss of our mothers, aunties, cousins, sisters, and daughters.
