August 24, 2023 to September 17, 2023—Fourth Annual #JusticeForKaysera Campaign

In August 2019, 18-year-old Kaysera Stops Pretty Places was murdered in Big Horn County, Montana. Four years have passed since her murder, and the FBI, Big Horn County Sheriff’s Office, and the Montana Department of Justice have done nothing to undertake a criminal investigation. This miscarriage of justice cannot stand. Law enforcement must be held accountable so we can finally bring #JusticeForKaysera.

Kaysera’s family, in collaboration with the NIWRC, Sovereign Bodies Institute, Rising Hearts, and Waking Women Healing Institute will be hosting events in Kaysera’s name beginning on August 24, the day Kaysera went missing, through August 29 (the day her body was found), and ending on September 11, the day Kaysera’s family was notified her body had been found. Please join us in the fight to bring #JusticeforKaysera. A run will be held this year on September 4 to raise awareness to the campaign to convince law enforcement to do the right thing and investigate her homicide.

Individuals can support the family’s fight for justice by showing up in person at a rally or vigil held in Kaysera’s honor. For individuals who cannot be in Hardin or Lame Deer, there are several ways in which individuals can show their support digitally, no matter where they are. For instance the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center and Mary Kathryn Nagle will be hosting two Twitter storms, where individuals can speak up and demand justice for Kaysera online.

The family also encourages individuals to send letters or any form of written communication to the elected and appointed leaders in both the Montana and United States governments who have failed Kaysera. Four years is inexcusable. Both the federal government and the United States have had every opportunity to undertake a legitimate criminal investigation, and they have failed to do so.
