Local Arizona Native Organizers for the Win–2022 Elections

 On May 9th, 2021 we are launching the Family Votes Program and getting local organizers back to work on Apache, Hopi, and Navajo lands in Arizona. The 2022 elections are every bit as consequential for Native Voters as the 2020 races and we need to invest in tribal communities now. [Read more here]

The Cafe 7 event on April 16 was a great and informative presentation by Joe Bia about the Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC) and process. The IRC will set our legislative districts in Arizona for the next 10 years and is really important for us to pay attention to and take part in. Ephraim Infante, AZ Democratic Party, also spoke with us about a new tool called Representable that can help us document and map our communities so we can share this with the IRC.
