About the Campaign
2024 marks 100 years since Native Americans were conferred U.S. citizenship through the Snyder Act, but it took another 40 years of fighting for every Native to have the right to vote. That same Native power and self-determination has led us on a path to a remarkable number of policy and election wins for our people, but we are just getting started.
Our vote holds real power and has a direct impact on the work we do in our communities. That’s why so many continue to try and stop us from showing up.
Despite these challenges, we continue to build on the legacy of our grandparents and great grandparents by using our voice at the polls and strengthening the right to vote for all Natives.
NativesVote2024 is a collaboration between IllumiNative and Native Organizers Alliance. Our organizations have joined together to drive voter engagement across Indian Country so our communities can show up as an undeniable force that won’t be stopped from building a better future for our peoples.
IllumiNative is a national, Native-led racial and social justice organization. Our mission is to amplify contemporary Native voices, stories and issues to build power for Native peoples to advance justice, equity, and self-determination. Our goal is to transform how Americans and key institutions think about and engage with Native peoples in order to fight systemic racism and achieve transformational change for Native communities and future generations.
Native Organizers Alliance (NOA) is a national Native network dedicated to power building and organizing capacity of tribes, and community groups for transformational policy change. It also provides a forum for tribal leaders, grassroots Native organizers and organizations to work in collaboration with each other and promote their work with non-Native national allies.
