Seattle, Washington: Blake Shelafoe speaks at the Seattle Women's March rally for MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women). Their mission is to raise consciousness, unite and demand action for Indigenous women, girls, Two Spirit and LGBTQQIA people who have been murdered or gone missing, tortured, raped, trafficked or assaulted. Members and supporters attending the gathering were encouraged to wear the color red as a show of solidarity. 27 year-old Shelafoe is a member of the Duwamish, Chippewa and Sioux tribes and has been involved with Duwamish culture and heritage since he was 9. Thousands gathered at Cal Anderson Park for the rally and march in solidarity with nationwide demonstrations championing voting rights and women running for office as part of the "Weekend of Women".
