Indefinitely Postponed - Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women meeting August 14

7/12/2023

 
Senator Kunesh has indicated that she will be out of town and unable to speak at this meeting. 
​LWV ABC would like to learn more about this important topic, so we will continue to see if we can find a speaker to address it.  For now, however, this meeting  has been indefinitely postponed.

August 14 was that date originally set for a discussion with Senator Kunesh of her work on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.   The meeting was to be held at the Izaak Walton's Breckenridge Chapter House on the Mississippi River in Brooklyn Park.   The public would have been invited to join in the meeting and discussion.

Senator Mary Kunesh will update us the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives (MMIR) Office.  This office, part of the Department of Public Safety, is the first of its kind in the country.  Senator Kunesh was the chief author of legislation to create a Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Taskforce and the legislation to create the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Office.  In 2023, MMIR completed its first annual report to the legislature.  Here are links to the Taskforce Report and the recent update on progress to the Legislature.
