May 5 is a day to honor Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit relatives.

The red dress represents those who were taken and those who should still be here.

Indigenous families across this country are still searching, still waiting, still calling for justice.

Some seasons ask us to hold many truths at once. Gratitude and grief. Celebration and struggle. History and the present moment we are living in here in Pacific County.
Our latest blog reflects on what this week holds and why listening with care matters.

Don’t wait until the last minute — USPS postmarks aren’t guaranteed to match when you mailed your ballot. That means a last-minute drop in the mailbox could mean your vote doesn’t count.

Find local drop box information at pcvu.org or vote.wa.gov

Your voice matters. Make sure your vote does too.

Violence has no place in our democracy.
Pacific County Voices Uniting stands with Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal and all who lead with courage in the face of hate.
Peaceful protest is not the threat. Hate is.

We have sacred obligations to these plants and animals. We will not let the United States separate us from those responsibilities—or from the rights that define us as a people.

Chinook Indian Nation rejects recognition without rights
After decades of work toward federal recognition with Congresswoman Gluesenkamp Perez and surrounding tribes, the Chinook Indian Nation is calling on new legislative allies, following an amendment proposed to the bill that would restore recognition but erase core sovereign rights.
