Native Vote Washington was started in 2008 by a Native-led collaborative working to increase the political empowerment, education, and engagement of Native Peoples in Washington state. As of 2025, Native Vote Washington is a program of Washington Conservation Action.
Native people have great political power in local, state, and national elections, and we partner to support Native voters. We provide tools and education to help Native people exercise their right to vote. We aim to increase Native voter turnout by sharing knowledge regarding candidates, political issues, combating voter suppression, and more.
Date: Monday, November 17
Time: 6:30 – 9:00 PM (Doors open at 6:00 PM)
Location: Northwest Film Forum, 1515 12th Ave, Seattle, WA

“Netse Mot: One Heart | One Mind” is a one-night, one-of-a-kind celebration and showcase of Indigenous talent and culture. This year, Children of the Setting Sun is proudly partnering with the National Congress of American Indians to host the event in conjunction with the NCAI National Convention in Seattle.
Your voice matters. With elections sometimes decided by hundreds of votes, Native voters can make a difference. We have seen this in state senate races and during the election of Senator Maria Cantwell.
Be part of getting out the Native vote.
