Advancing Safety in Tribal Communities
California is currently facing an epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples (MMIP), yet Indigenous people are far too often left out of public discussions and solutions related to safety. At the same time, the Trump Administration proposed billions in cuts to Indigenous Communities nationwide.
California has in recent years invested state funds to combat violence and support Tribal communities. However, the state still has the fifth highest number of unresolved MMIP cases, with the vast majority involving young women and girls.
