New Mexico volleyball team will honor MMIP at upcoming game

A New Mexico high school’s volleyball team is honoring missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls at its game on Oct. 30. Mescalero Apache Lady Chiefs junior varsity volleyball game will take place at the Mescalero Apache High School gymnasium at 4 p.m.

The event will include a bake sale and raffles, and MMIP resources will be available for families. Money raised will be donated to 4Corners K-9 Search and Rescue, a Native nonprofit that facilitates search and rescue on tribal land.

Community members are encouraged to show up in red for support.

“Let’s show up in red. Let’s fill every seat. Let’s make sure our young people see what community strength looks like,” 4Corners K-9 Search and Rescue posted on Facebook. “Every serve, every point, every cheer will echo for those who can no longer speak for themselves.”
