For the third year in a row, Red Sand Project joined tribal communities, elders, advocates, and lawmakers at the Connecticut State Capitol for Red Dress Day and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Awareness Day.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This activation was made possible through our partnership with the Institute for American Indian Studies and the leadership of State Senators Cathy Osten and Eric Berthel, who continue to bring visibility to the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives in Connecticut.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Together, attendees filled the cracks of the Capitol sidewalks with red sand to honor Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit people, and relatives who are too often overlooked, ignored, or missing from public awareness and systems meant to protect them. Alongside the powerful display of red dresses and artwork inside the Capitol, the installation created space for remembrance, reflection, and conversation.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Leaders from Connecticut’s five state-recognized tribes gathered to share stories, call for accountability, and stand together in support of Indigenous communities.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We’re deeply grateful to have been part of this gathering and to stand in solidarity with everyone continuing to fight for visibility, justice, and change!⁣

🔻In 2016, more than 5,700 Indigenous women and girls were reported missing in the United States.  
🔻Indigenous women and girls face disproportionately higher rates of violence than women in non-Indigenous communities. 
🔻Native women face murder rates up to ten times the national average. 
🔻Murder is the third leading cause of death for Native women. 

During this national week of action, we honor Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit people (#MMIWG2S) and the individuals, families, and communities impacted by this ongoing crisis. 

𝘞𝘦 𝘙𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘏𝘦𝘳 follows the @medicinewheelride, who ride to honor their missing loved ones and demand justice. 

It's a communal act of remembrance and resistance. ❤️

Human trafficking is happening all around us, and we don’t always recognize it.⁣

It can be hard to spot. The signs are often subtle, and it’s easy to look past something we don’t fully understand.⁣

#RedSandProject is a participatory artwork that interrupts that pattern. By filling cracks in the sidewalk with red sand, we slow down and start to notice what we might otherwise overlook. The cracks are easy to miss, and the people who fall through them are, too.⁣

Filling those cracks is a simple act, but it can create a moment to notice and a way to begin a conversation.⁣

From @worldweus 👇

“In recent months, newly released records have shed further light on the staggering scope and brutality of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse—and the network of individuals and institutions that enabled it. Survivors’ accounts, financial records, and internal documents paint a deeply disturbing picture: a coordinated system of exploitation sustained over years, with evidence suggesting the involvement or awareness of multiple actors beyond Epstein himself. This timely conversation will bring together legal experts to examine the Epstein files through a legal and investigative lens—moving beyond headlines to confront both the weight of what has been revealed and the unanswered questions that remain.⁣

While the files contain extensive materials—victim testimony, financial data, communications, and investigative records—they are often incomplete, heavily redacted, or insufficiently corroborated, raising difficult questions about what can realistically be pursued in court. This webinar will explore the critical distinction between allegation and admissible evidence, and unpack what constitutes a viable lead for prosecution.⁣

Moderated by World Without Exploitation CEO and former prosecutor, Lauren Hersh, this webinar will feature Managing Partner at Boies Schiller Flexner, Sigrid S. McCawley; former District Attorney of Westchester County, Miriam (Mimi) Rocah; and former United States Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, Joyce White Vance. ⁣

Panelists will assess potential avenues for accountability across direct perpetrators, facilitators and enablers, financial networks, and institutional actors, while also addressing the legal and structural barriers that have limited prosecutions to date. Grounded in legal expertise and a commitment to survivor-centered justice, this discussion will examine what meaningful accountability could still look like—and what steps remain available at the state and federal levels.”

In January, during National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, #RedSandProject partnered with @weare_pact to bring together advocates, young people, and survivors for an honest conversation about vulnerability and how it can put youth at risk of exploitation. 

After the discussion, participants gathered on the sidewalks of New York City for a red sand activation. 

Together, we filled cracks in the pavement with red sand, creating a visible interruption in the everyday landscape. The red sand draws attention to the cracks we often step over or ignore, inviting us to slow down, notice vulnerability in a new way, and respond with care. 

People passing by slowed down. Some stopped to ask questions. Some stayed. Some joined in. Some even took red sand home with them to share with their families. 

Like the conversation that came before it, the activation opened space for connection, curiosity, and care in the middle of an ordinary afternoon.

No childhood is perfect. We all have vulnerabilities. But for some youth, those vulnerabilities become cracks in their foundation, leaving them more susceptible to harm.⁣

What does it look like to notice those cracks early? How can communities step in to support and protect? What does vulnerability really look like?⁣

During National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, PACT (Protect All Children from Trafficking) partnered with #RedSandProject to bring visibility to youth and individuals who too often fall through the cracks. At the close of the month, we gathered advocates, youth, and survivors for an afternoon of honest conversation about vulnerability and how traffickers exploit it.⁣

What emerged was connection. Participants found common ground in unexpected places, asked difficult questions, and reminded us that real change begins when we slow down and truly listen. When we see survivors and youth not as statistics but as partners and teachers, more compassionate and effective solutions become possible!

No childhood is perfect. We all have vulnerabilities. But for some youth, those vulnerabilities become cracks in their foundation, leaving them more susceptible to harm.⁣

What does it look like to notice those cracks early? How can communities step in to support and protect? What does vulnerability really look like?⁣

During National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, PACT (Protect All Children from Trafficking) partnered with #RedSandProject to bring visibility to youth and individuals who too often fall through the cracks. At the close of the month, we gathered advocates, youth, and survivors for an afternoon of honest conversation about vulnerability and how traffickers exploit it.⁣

What emerged was connection. Participants found common ground in unexpected places, asked difficult questions, and reminded us that real change begins when we slow down and truly listen. When we see survivors and youth not as statistics but as partners and teachers, more compassionate and effective solutions become possible!

Human trafficking often hides in the cracks of our systems.⁣

The 2026 State Human Trafficking Report from @alliesagainstslavery takes a state by state look at how trafficking is showing up across the country and how systems are responding. Drawing on national data about policies, prosecutions, hotline reports, online ads, and illicit massage businesses, it helps reveal where protections are stronger and where gaps remain.⁣

Students in Professor Erin Partridge’s Domestic Violence Assessment and Reporting class at @dominicanuniversityca recently brought a #RedSandProject activation to campus.⁣

Part of the Master of Arts in Art Therapy program, the course explores the different needs of people experiencing domestic violence and human trafficking. Students also examine how art can help make visible experiences that are too often unseen.⁣

Together, they filled cracks in the sidewalk with red sand, turning a simple act of public art into a reflection of what they are learning in the classroom. The red sand calls attention to people who fall through the cracks of our systems and communities and invites others to pause, notice, and consider how we each play a role in making those cracks visible.

We are here to witness, to remember, and to keep the truth in plain sight.

There are serious concerns about survivors’ private information being shared in recent Epstein-related document releases, including instances where identifying details were not adequately protected. Survivors and advocates have named how this kind of exposure can compromise safety and deepen fear, vulnerability, and harm.⁣⁣

We believe survivors. ⁣⁣
They are telling the truth. ⁣⁣
And their safety, dignity, and care are vital. ⁣⁣
 ⁣⁣
We also recognize that moments like this can have wide-reaching effects. For some, there may be immediate concerns about safety. For others, this moment adds weight to what they already carry. Support is available for both. ⁣⁣
