Red Dress Day: Calgary Unites for Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women
Description
Tomorrows Red Dress Day in Calgary highlights missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people. The Sacred Steps walk starts at The Confluence, honoring the lost with red attire. A community gathering follows, with events also in Cochrane and Ottawa. The red dress symbolizes lives cut short, as Indigenous women face violence at four times the rate of others. Advocates push for the implementation of the two hundred thirty-one calls for justice from the national inquiry. Events include a field of red ribbons, a powwow, walks, and a vigil. Stand with families, dress for the weather, and consider donating to groups like Stardale empowering Indigenous girls.
