A Global Call to Action Why We Wear RED

Each Year in May

Why We Wear RED Call to Action stems from years of neglect, from the film industry, media sources and government.

#WhyWeWearRED is a media coalition initiative that brings a global awareness to the lack of inclusion of Native Women in Film & Television, which is directly linked to the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Native Women & Girls and Native Indigenous People.

“We need to make sure that native women and girls can see themselves in all media, while creating content that reflects their lived experiences.”

Founder Joanelle Romero, An advocate who is leading the fight to change industry culture and tell stories that represent what our society actually looks like.

Justice for American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian women and their children, by bringing awareness to this critical issue. Missing and murdered Native women and girls and the lack of inclusion of Native Women in Film & Television are inextricably linked.

#WhyWeWearRED brings together survivors and Indigenous communities to heal and visualize a better world free from sexual harassment and violence.

Women and Girls are Sacred
