2025 National Week of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives
The National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center (NIWRC), together with the National Partners Work Group on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and the MMIWR Family Advisor Workgroup, invites you to join the 2025 National Week of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIWR), taking place May 5-9.
This annual campaign centers the voices of families, uplifts community-led efforts, and calls the nation to honor the lives of MMIWR through awareness, solidarity, and action. Join us in saying enough is enough—no more stolen sisters, no more stolen relatives.
