Holding Red Dress Day With Care
May 5, 2026
On May 5th, we gathered alongside community members for Red Dress Day at a march and luncheon hosted by our friends at the Labrador Friendship Centre.
We are grateful to have been present in a space led with care, where families, survivors, and community members came together to honour and remember Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people.
We also recognize that gatherings like this carry deep weight. They hold grief, memory, love, and the ongoing reality of violence that continues to impact communities across Labrador and beyond.
If you would like to revisit the coverage and hear voices from the day, you can view and listen here:
Red Dress Day is not only about remembrance. It calls for continued action, accountability, and care.
We know that addressing gender-based violence requires more than awareness. It calls for coordinated, well-resourced action across systems including health, justice, housing, and beyond. This is collective work, and it must be met with a collective response.
At Mokami, we remain committed to showing up in ways that are grounded in relationship, to supporting safety and healing in our community, and to being part of the ongoing work to address gender-based violence.
We hold this day and all those impacted with care.
