Protect Native Women
The statistics of missing and murdered indigenous women are staggering - with 84% of Native women experiencing violence in their lifetime and a murder rate 10 times the national average. This epidemic can no longer be avoided. With stay-at-home orders in place in many states and tribes to stop the spread of COVID-19, rates of violence in Indian Country are likely to skyrocket.
Learn more about what you can do the stop this violence against Native women and what tools you need to educate your members of Congress.
