Diné Children/Community Safety

"At Operation Diné School Safety, we believe that every voice matters in keeping our schools safe. If you see something concerning or feel that a situation could pose a risk to our students, we encourage you to report it. Your contribution can make a significant difference by raising awareness of potential dangers and preventing incidents before they happen. Whether it’s suspicious behavior, a security concern, or anything that feels off, speaking up can protect our children and create a safer community for everyone. Together, we can take action to ensure that Navajo schools remain safe, supportive places for all students."

"The name “Operation Rainbow Bridge” is inspired by Navajo cultural history that sees rainbows as paths of light traveled by warriors overcoming adversity. The Operation exemplifies a modern-day battle, utilizing social services, legal resources, and public safety personnel to assist Navajo citizens who have been victims of Medicaid fraud.  The Operation seeks to ensure a safe journey for our people away from dangerous facilities and toward reputable behavioral health centers or the loving arms of family."
