This petition is deeply personal to me. A dear friend, Cole  Bring Plenty, was tragically taken from us in a homicide. His hair, once long and a symbol of his strength, was cut short to his ear. His loss is not an isolated incident but part of a larger crisis affecting our indigenous communities.

According to the National Institute of Justice in the United States, more than 1.5 million Native American women have experienced violence in their lifetime. Furthermore, on some reservations, indigenous women are murdered at rates that are ten times the national average (National Congress of American Indians). This horrifying reality cannot continue unaddressed.

I am not forcing anyone to sign this petition; it's your choice entirely. However, I hope you will join me in demanding justice for Cole Bring Plenty and countless others who have been lost or harmed due to this ongoing crisis.

This campaign started as part of a school project but has grown into something much bigger - an international call for change and awareness about the plight facing our indigenous communities every day.

By signing this petition you're not just supporting my project; you're standing with millions who believe that no one should live in fear because of their heritage or culture. Let's show how many people around the world care about this issue and demand justice now! Please sign this petition today.
