Today & every day we honour the lives of missing & murdered Indigenous women, girls & 2SLGBTQQIA+ people. Almost 6 years after the Calls for Justice were released, most remain unfulfilled. True change cannot occur while the colonial systems that uphold this violence remain intact

When it’s all gloomy outside, we know that, for a lot of us, retail therapy is one of the quick dopamine-inducing fixes. What if you were to add the peace of mind of knowing that every dollar you’re spending is going to a good cause?

A little update as our holiday celebrations are coming up:

[DEWC @DEWCVancouver]

This year, for Giving Tuesday, we thought we'd share some good news to brighten your day!
Our gift to you today is a story of incredible perseverance and one that brough smiles to all our faces. This is a feel-good story. This is Priscilla’s story. https://t.co/82VCrv7cm8

Every time you let us know that you are going to drop off a donation to one of our sites, we notify the manager of the site. Every time, we get the sweetest reaction from them, and we realized that it's only fair to share it with those who are initiating the joy: you.
