On this day we ask our community members, family, friends and allies to wear an orange shirt. Please consider why we do this, and remember: Every Child Matters.

Tomorrow is also the first official National Day of Truth & Reconciliation, which is one step further on our collective journey. Check around your community to see how this day is being observed, and what activities or events you can participate in or attend. Be heard. Be seen. Be proud.

The Wabanaki 2-Spirit Alliance is committed to advocating for and supporting all Two Spirits, Indigiqueer and Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ people, and on these days we are reminded of how much work there is left to do, but that we must also seek joy and consolation where they may be found.
