Black women do not receive the same urgency or attention when they go missing. In the latest @MPRHCanada blog, the phenomenal Dr. Kasey Phillips Brown shares the journey behind the Missing Black Woman Disparity Toolkit. This is a practical resource built by the community, for the community. Because waiting for systems to suddenly do better is not a strategy. “The solution is us helping us.”

Lisa, murdered and missing for over 20 years and my mum at one of the many press conferences we’ve held over the years. Someone has to have a heart. Please tell us what happened to Lisa and let us find some type of peace. Whatever you’ve heard……tell me. #letsfindlisa

Samuel Bird, 14, is still missing. Edmonton Police have now classified his disappearance as “suspicious,” shifting search efforts to the North Saskatchewan River. Sharing this to help raise awareness and bring attention to Samuel’s case, in the hope that his family receives answers and that Samuel is found safe.
Grateful to @CBCSamSamson for having me on to share insights on how police investigate missing children cases.

While Red Dress Day is over, the movement is not.
The crisis of MMIWG2S+ did not begin yesterday - and it will not end without continued action.
Keep the pressure on and continue the fight. For the lives we’ve lost. For the ones still with us. For the generations to come.

International parental abduction happens more than you think — and it can devastate children and families. Taking a child abroad without consent isn’t just a custody issue — it violates the child's rights. Learn the facts + what to do. #LightTheWayHome #ParentalAbductionAwareness
