Why this petition matters

Started by jamie smallboy

Indigenous children are left with out the support and resources connected to the amber alert when a child goes missing. They do not fit the criteria required for an amber alert to be issued. The criteria needs to be adjusted to include our on reserve children. It is critical to the safety and well-being of our children to have a system and alert in place for Indigenous children. Our Indigenous women and girls are going missing and being found deceased at alarming rates. A bill board campaign with an alert system connected to the missing person reports would bring much needed awareness and attention to a disappearance of our women and children. These decisions are at the provincial and federal levels but are possible to put into action across Canada. We need your support in signing this petition. The more signatures we get the more weight the petition will have as it moves forward. Think of little frank from red earth, Tina Fontaine, Chelsea Poorman, Billie Johnson and so so many others that could still be with us if we had proper alerts and systems in place.
