Do you have a red dress to donate to a meaningful cause?

Indigenous Education is calling on the NC community to donate red dresses to its REDress Project – which addresses violence against Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit, lesbian, gay, trans, bisexual, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual (2SLGTBQQIA) people –  and the deadline to drop-off dress donations has been extended until February 10.

As part of the REDress Project at NC, the red dresses will create an intriguing outdoor display at each campus to signify the thousands of lives lost over the past 40 years to colonial violence.

Donations of red dresses may be dropped off at the library at the Welland or Daniel J. Patterson Campus (circulation desk). Those who are not on campus may make arrangements by contacting Indigenous Education at [email protected].

For more information about the REDress drive, read the January 26 article (note that the original dress donation deadline of February 3 has now been changed to February 10): Donate a red dress, help address violence through NC’s REDress Project

Details about NC’s plans for the REDress Project will soon be posted to InsideNC.
