PILLAR THREE

Turning awareness into action.

MMIW/P awareness, community events, partnerships, and the We Run For Them Thanksgiving Day 5K — the public-facing work that moves the cause forward.

Awareness alone does not create change. Action creates change.

We bring people together through education, events, storytelling, and community engagement — building the kind of collective momentum that moves the needle.

Areas of Focus

Where we put our shoulders.

MMIW/P

Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women & People

Increasing awareness and community involvement — making sure their names are not lost, and the families are not standing alone.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

Gathering For Impact

Creating opportunities for connection and shared purpose — runs, fundraisers, vigils, education nights, and community circles.

STORYTELLING

Education Through Story

Sharing experiences that inspire understanding and action — the work of moving a heart before moving a policy.

PARTNERSHIPS

Working Alongside Others

Standing with businesses, nonprofits, and community leaders who are committed to building the kind of communities our children deserve.

FEATURED EVENT

We Run For Them

A Thanksgiving Day community run honoring Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women and People.

A nationwide grassroots event — one community, one morning, one act of remembering — held the only day of the year built around gratitude.

5K

A run, walk, or roll — the distance is symbolic, not athletic.

272+

Honorees in the registry, each carried by a runner.

Nov 26

Thanksgiving Day, 2026 — wherever you are.

Together we can create communities where every voice matters.
