Help us raise $25,000 to get justice for Indigenous families who have lost their children
We just want to know what happened to our Indigenous children — and we’re continuing to fight for answers. On June 12 and 13, the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) is taking B.C’s Information and Privacy Commissioner and IndigiNews to the B.C Supreme Court. Why? To keep redacted documents from our storytellers. What is MCFD fighting so hard to hide?
We want answers. Will you pitch in so we can continue to hold colonial institutions accountable?
