The Women of Menikanaehkem have a very important message for us. Homicide is the third leading cause of death for Indigenous Women.  More than half of Native American women report having been raped or assaulted.  The media has largely been silent or, worse, has blamed the victims.  It is time to shine a light on this atrocity, and come together to work to end it.

Please support their call to action:
Calling all Life Protectors! 
 We need your help to ensure that LRB 2698/1, the Missing Murdered Tribal Women and Girls Bill, goes forward in the state of Wisconsin.  This bill would create a task force to reduce violence against Indigenous Women and bring justice to those who have gone missing and murdered. 
Please act TODAY:
1. ask Speaker of the Assembly Robin Vos (Rep.Vos at legis.wisconsin.gov / 608-266-9171) to assign this bill to the Criminal Justice Committee before the session ends.
2. contact your local legislators (find them here) and ask them to communicate their support for this bill.
Do not let their voices go silent!
 #wedemandmore#notonemore
Not Us. Not Today.
 Thank you.
Women of Menikanaehkem 

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau: 
This bill creates a task force on missing and murdered tribal women and girls. The task force must be established by the attorney general and must consist of members who are knowledgeable in crime victims rights or violence protection and who work in a range of relevant positions as specified in the bill. The task force must examine various factors that contribute to violence against tribal women and girls and submit to the chair or president of each tribe and to the appropriate standing committees of the legislature by December 15, 2020, a report on actions that can be taken to eliminate violence against tribal women and girls.
