No more stolen sisters

This afternoon I spotted this railroad car sitting on the tracks running alongside the road, and was intrigued by what was painted on it. No more stolen sisters. I pulled over and took some pictures of it, and now I have done a Google search for MMIW—stands for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. I didn’t know anything about this initiative before. Below are links to a Wikipedia article and also to their website.

One of the better/ more positive graffiti markings on railroad cars. I'm glad that you deciphered it for us.
