#DoIMatterNow?

In 2015, Inuit women mobilized to launch the #DoIMatterNow? Campaign on twitter against the  Canadain Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The activists called out Stephen Harper's most controversial policies—including  the PM’s  policy against wearing veils. With  makeshift head scarfs, these activists took  pictures decrying the systematic disenfranchisement of Inidgenous people while expressing solidarity with Muslim women, affected by Harper’s policies. It served  to  build solidarity, while drawing attention to long-standing systemic issues affecting indigenous Canadian women, including the high rates of unresolved kidnappings and murders.
