Tricking right-wing men into posting about things that are actually important.

Today is Red Dress Day, a day of remembrance and activism for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people. Gary and I are going to explain what that means, why the red dresses matter, and why remembrance has to become pressure for justice.
Perhaps Gary should be a writer too, since he’s apparently able to produce such brilliant prose entirely unassisted.
The red dress became a symbol through Métis artist Jaime Black’s REDress Project, which began in 2010 as a public art installation for missing and murdered Indigenous women. Empty dresses were hung in public spaces so the absence of people became impossible to ignore.
Besides posting about this online, some things you can do are support Indigenous organizations, share missing person alerts, and demand that lawmakers fully fund the systems meant to investigate these cases, so they don’t disappear further.
If you follow my satire profile, you’ll see Gary is not the only right-wing man I’ve convinced to post about Red Dress Day. Once a man has made it into my posts, I do not share his full name because I try to limit the chances of him finding this page and coming here to harass me. But you can read another man’s public post about Red Dress Day linked here. This man’s name is Ultra Maga spelled backwards.
Back to Gary, my paid subscribers can read the comments on his post as a little thank you.
