Annisa,
The tragic death of 14-year-old Emily Pike, a member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe, has shocked and devastated her community. Emily was found dead in February after going missing in January, her body dismembered and left in a remote area. Her death highlights the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women, who are disproportionately affected by violence and disappearances. To address this problem, the Arizona state legislature is considering a bill that would create an Amber Alert-style system for missing Indigenous women to ensure they are given the same urgent attention as any other missing person.

The community's heartbreak over Emily Pike's death is a painful reminder of the systemic neglect faced by Indigenous communities. Native American women go missing and are murdered at a much higher rate than any other population, yet the resources and support available to help solve these cases are grossly inadequate. It's time to give these cases the attention they deserve, starting with the creation of an Amber Alert-style system that will notify the public and expedite the search for missing Indigenous women. Sign the petition to support the legislation for an Amber Alert-style system for missing Indigenous women and to demand justice for Emily Pike.
