Native Vote Washington
Increasing Native power through empowering Native voters
Voting is Good Medicine Organizing Series
Voting is Good Medicine is an organizing series led by panelists from various Indigenous partner organizations. Its goals include: (1) registering new Native voters, (2) educating Native voters about Native candidates and issues that impact Indian Country, and (3) educating Native voters about voting logistics to drive strong turnout of Native voters.
The power of the Native vote is rooted in our peoples’ resilience, relationships, and centuries of hard-won victories. Relive the innovative 2024 community-building organizing series that connected Indigenous organizers from around the country to share skills, plans, and stories from the field.
