Communities across New Brunswick held memorials and gatherings on May 5 for Red Dress Day, the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people. Events included Sacred Fires, music, readings and public remembrances organized by Indigenous groups and allies to honor missing and murdered relatives and support affected families. Amnesty International and local organizers encouraged people to wear red, learn more, support Indigenous-led organizations, and pressure governments for sustained action. The day underscores an ongoing national crisis of MMIWG2S+ and the continuing demands for accountability and policy changes to prevent further violence.
