Tuesday, February 14th, 2023, 6:00pm STOP THE VIOLENCE! On February 14th 2023, join us for a Memorial and March for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Trans and Two-Spirit People in Tiohtiá:ke (Montreal). Too many Indigenous families have lost their loved ones to colonial violence. Many Indigenous women, girls, trans and Two-Spirit people wonder if they will be next. This can’t go on. In 2019, the Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls was published (https://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/final-report/). Now is the time to take action. To honour the recommendations on how to stop the genocide against Indigenous communities. We refuse to allow the countless hours of testimony and knowledge that thousands of Indigenous people poured into the inquiry go to waste. We have all the information we need. Let’s join to mobilize and honor the lives of those who are no longer with us. It’s an opportunity to learn from activists and elders, and to be inspired to action by the songs and performances of Indigenous artists. This event is organized by the Iskweu Project: (a project of the Native Women's Shelter of Montreal) that aims to reduce and ultimately eradicate the number of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (including trans and Two-Spirit). Montreal. TERRITORIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This event takes place on unceded Indigenous lands.
