Civic Engagement

Our Civic Engagement Team is here to help with voter registration for county and state elections, as well as for Navajo Nation elections. We also provide information about local, regional, and national issues that can impact our urban, American Indian voters in the community. We want to inform our local citizens through educational forums and community events and encourage everyone to “Be Civically Engaged, Be Active, Be A Change Maker.”

Voting is one of our most important rights. Our ancestors fought throughout the course of U.S. history in order for Native American citizens to have the right to vote in Tribal, County, State and Federal elections. Our Native Nations continue to fight to secure our voting rights, and to ensure that our voices are heard to impact Federal, State and Tribal government decisions. Together, Tribal Nations, villages, community coalitions and organizers work diligently toward creating an inclusive and equitable future for all.
