Today's Action: Honour the World's Indigenous Peoples

August 9th is the International Day of the World's Indigenous People. To mark this day, read a news story about a grave injustice happening to indigenous women in the United States.

While there is no one action that can solve the complex maze of injustice these women face, bearing witness can serve as a powerful instrument of change. We must resist silence and the notion that sexual violence is a matter to be buried and forgotten.

For today's Daily Action, bear witness: learn about the chronic injustice faced by American Indian and Alaska Native women and share your comments on C2NN.
