Next Wednesday, April 29, join Circles of Strength for this month's Women's Gathering! As we approach May 5th — National Day of Awareness for Missing & Murdered Indigenous People, we come together to honor the voices, strength, and stories of Indigenous women, girls, and relatives, while raising awareness of the ongoing MMIWG2S+ crisis.
This powerful film is part of a larger movement. On May 5th, communities across Wisconsin will gather for Wrap the Capitol Red at the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison — an annual event that brings visibility, remembrance, and collective action to this issue.
