Search the Landfills Day of Action September 18

Raising Awareness and Seeking Justice for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls,
and Two-Spirited Persons

The “International Day of Action” being organized across the country on Monday, September 18, by Families of Sisters in Spirit, MMIWG2S+ families and advocates draws attention to the alarming numbers of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirited persons.

An event is being organized that day on Parliament Hill to demand action from the government and other relevant authorities to address this crisis. The organizers urge all relatives across Turtle Island to show support by gathering at their respective provincial and local government buildings. This widespread show of unity and solidarity will underscore the gravity of the issue and push for comprehensive national action, they write.

Recognizing that justice cannot be achieved without broad public support, the call for allies to join the event aims to foster understanding and strengthen the movement. This inclusive approach highlights the importance of collective efforts in ending the violence against Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit persons.

The call has been issued to “Fill the Hill with Red” in Ottawa. Participants are encouraged to show their support by bringing songs, drums, and wearing red attire. This visual display of unity will serve as a powerful reminder of the lives impacted by violence.
