U.S (NATIVE ORGANIZERS ALLIANCE ACTION FUND) : Demand CONGRESS pass the JOHN LEWIS VOTING RIGHTS ADVANCEMENT ACT, which includes the NATIVE AMERICAN VOTING RIGHTS ACT.

 

 

 

 

 

Friend,

 

Black and Native communities in the U.S. face voter suppression and discrimination that restricts our ability to exercise our right to vote.

To fight back against an onslaught of state laws that limit access to the ballot box, we’ve been advocating for the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, named after the late civil rights leader U.S. Rep. John Lewis.

The bill includes the essential Native American Voting Rights Act, which would correct the barriers to voting faced by people living on reservations.

With more states enacting restrictive laws limiting access for voters, especially in rural areas, the right to vote is at risk for Native peoples. For instance, polling places are sometimes hundreds of miles away, and many people only have PO boxes, which can limit voting by mail. Some members of Tribal communities only have Tribal IDs, which have been rejected in many states for voting -- particularly in states with new, stricter voter ID laws. This is a crisis, and we can address it.

Please sign now to demand Congress pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which includes the Native American Voting Rights Act.

SIGN NOW

Together, we’re building Native political power and fighting back against attacks on our rights and sovereignty.

Hawwih (thank you),
