Help Fight the MMIWG Epidemic


YES! I JUST STARTED WATCHING ALASKA DAILY 




Help Fight the MMIW/MMIR Epidemic





Red
Road Institute is proud to announce two new initiatives protecting our
people and saving lives. We do need your help to see these through.





As
you might know, tribes are rarely able to prosecute non-tribal citizens
for crimes they commit on our reservations. As a result, our
reservations are breeding grounds for wicked people to rape, murder, and
assault our people.





Because
the local police are rarely allowed to prosecute crimes outside their
jurisdiction, the FBI is the only department able to investigate crimes
committed by non-Natives on tribal land.





In
2016, the last year these stats were kept, there were 5,712 known cases
of missing or murdered indigenous women. However, only 116 were logged
into the DOJ database. For over 90% of the crimes, a real investigation
never happens.





So we're putting together these programs to help our people because the government will not. 

Red Road Alert:
On July 1st, we will roll out the Red Road Alert in South and North
Dakota. This system will allow tribal police departments and police in
cities surrounding reservations to send a text alert to people who have
subscribed to our service when one of our relatives is missing.




This is similar to an Amber Alert and will help our people be on the lookout for our relatives and share information.





We
plan to expand this to other states as funds and grants become
available. However, we need $19k more to ensure this is financed for an
entire year.

A New Show on Red Road TV
















































MMIW: Unsolved Cases: Have you heard about Red Road TV?
This is our 100% free indigenous programming available on Roku and
other smart TVs. Since we don’t charge for our programming, we must
raise money for anything we produce.





We’re currently
working on the first five episodes of a show that will highlight
unsolved MMIW cases. We’re hiring private investigators to go where the
federal government will not.





On April 15th, we will
release a new website that will allow us to share information and
hopefully bring some of our stolen sisters home. Our budget is tight,
and we are short $11k for advertising and equipment if you want to
donate money or equipment.





We want you to know
that 100% of all Red Road Institute’s donations return to our
communities. Not one person on our staff receives compensation.
