MMIWG2S MMIWG is a community-based grassroots movement raising awareness and addressing the lack of response when a Native women or girl goes missing or is murdered.

International Indigenous Peoples Day, like every day, is a good time to remind your peers of all the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2-spirited people.

I posted about #mmiwg2s yesterday and it had zero traffic.

1500 plus followers and none of you gives a flying fuck about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Girls and 2-Spirited people. You are all fucking disappointing and embarrassing.

The Indigenous erasure on this app is real.

Today I wear red to raise awareness about all the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Woman, Girls and 2-Spirited people

I added a traditional garment from Toraja culture so hopefully people will ask me about it on the streets and I can flip the subject to #MMIWG2S

I just figured out how to make moderation lists so this one is short but I’ll keep adding to it.

I usually don’t like these lists but so far this list consists of those encouraging the deportation & death of voters in Dearborn who didn’t vote for Harris.
