ida's law passed and we finally secured the red alert system we fought for. it feels huge that these protections are becoming reality for our communities. stay tuned because now we have to make sure the training and implementation actually happen on the ground.

We the undersigned ask the Oklahoma State Legislature to:
1. Support and pass Ida’s Law as presented by Representative Mickey Dollens;
2. Introduce a bill and support legislation to establish a “Red Alert” fashioned after the Amber Alert and Silver Alert system in the Department of Public Safety. For example: The Amber Plan is a cooperative agreement among the Office of the Governor, the Department of Public Safety (DPS), the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters, and various law enforcement agencies in the state of Oklahoma. The Amber Plan is an early warning system available for use by law enforcement through the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (OLETS) to alert the public when a child has been abducted and law enforcement believes the child is in immediate danger. It is believed that the early warning distributed by the state radio and television Emergency Alert System (EAS) will coerce a child abductor into releasing a child, for fear of being apprehended. WE ASK FOR A “RED ALERT” IN THIS SAME MANNER FOR WHEN AN INDIGENOUS WOMAN/PERSON/CHILD GOES MISSING;
3. Introduce a bill and support legislation to amend CLEET certification and continuing education for law enforcement to have mandatory training on proper methods for responding to reports of Missing Indigenous Girls/Women/Persons.

We care about our ppl Every hospital should have to call if there’s a Jane doe that’s passed and looks like a Native American My mom laid there is st Anthony’s for a month And we all was calling as that’s her hospital We care about our family We care about all life Do you !!!
My sister britney tiger was taken from our family and her case is still unsolved. And as a father to 2 native American daughters I worry about them every day and other native American families that ate goin through the same I just hope that there will be help to solve these cases and bring closure to my family and other families
On July 21, 2017 the man that I was with tried to kill me. Every day I think about how he would tell me that he could kill me and no one would ever find my body because of all the land that he owns around Caddo County in SW Oklahoma. Every day I live with the fact that I could have been a Missing and Murdered Indigenous Woman here in Oklahoma. Thankfully by the grace of God I was able to fight him off and get away from him. He is now in prison serving time for what he did to me but he will be getting out on December 1, 2020 and that is a day I am not looking forward to. May God bless all MMIW and all those left behind.
Please pass this legislation for the safety of my life and my daughter's. For far too long our people have been targeted and disregarded. We are the first occupants of these lands, yet we are direspected. It's time we matter. Thank you.
I support this legislation wholeheartedly. One of my daughters lost her life to a man who got away without being prosecuted thirteen years ago. Her death occurred on reservation land.
It's still happening this needs to stop people out of staters and over seas people need to leave us native Americans alone
We are owed this rite WAKE UP !

Missing and murdered Indigenous people is a growing crisis. Changes must be made to bring awareness and efficiency to law enforcement response.
