We’re so grateful for Michelle and sharing her truth. We love her voting story and we hope you do to. Let it inspire you. 🔥💗🙌🏽🗳️ Get registered. 💪🏽



✨This year will be my first time voting! Like many of you I didn’t vote because I didn’t think my vote counted. I just didn’t participate. But after many visits with trusted family and friends and learning more about direct policy impacts on voting rights, health care, and women and girls, I can’t sit this election out. I am now a registered voter. 💪🏽
As a proud Diné and Chinese woman, I am voting for my daughter and for my people. We deserve better health care. Casting our ballot should not be made harder and I’m voting to recognize that this year, 2024, marks the 100 year anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act. We were not even citizens in our own homelands until this act was passed in 1924.
I encourage all of you to join me and get registered to vote and make your voice heard this November 5th.
So glad to connect with my Diné sis Jaynie Parrish, Executive Director of Arizona Native Vote . I am proud of the team’s field work across northeastern Arizona.
To help you get ready for the November General Election in Arizona, I ask AZ family, friends, clan relatives to take a minute to:
Check your voter registration status at my.arizona.vote
Or if you will be a first time voter, like me, you can Register to Vote online at https://servicearizona.com/VoterRegistration
If you prefer in-person assistance or over the phone information, you may also get a hold of their team. Cuz sometimes we have online challenges and having a friend to help you move through the process is all you need.
Arizona Native Vote Firekeepers and organizers live and work across Navajo and Apache counties and will get you the trusted information you need to be a successful, and regular voter.
So much is at stake in this election and we need every eligible voter to cast their ballot. Not only for the President, but for every local, tribal, and county seat down ballot.
✨✨✨✨

Let's get out the !

See you there! Set your reminders today!

🎉 Today, we celebrate the Native American right to vote! 🗳️ Our communities have overcome countless barriers to secure this fundamental right. And we’re still fighting.

On July 15, 1948, the AZ Supreme Court granted Native Americans the right to vote.

“In Arizona, the fight for Native voting rights started when Gila River Indian Community citizens Peter Porter and Rudolf Johnson filed a suit in November 1924, advocating for Indigenous people in Arizona to have the right to vote in state elections.

That attempt failed when the Arizona Supreme Court determined that, although Indigenous people of Tribal Nations in Arizona were state residents, they could not vote because they were considered under federal guardianship..

For the next 24 years, Indigenous people did not have the right to vote until Fort McDowell Yavapai tribal members Frank Harrison and Harry Austin tried to cast their votes in 1948.

Their goal was to vote for Arizona leaders who would support their efforts to provide for senior citizens and families, but the Maricopa County Recorder turned them away.

They soon filed a lawsuit in hopes of overturning the Arizona Supreme Court’s decision from 1924, and on July 15, 1948, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled in favor of Harrison and Austin.” (AZ Mirror, Shondiin Silversmith)

“In a democracy, suffrage is the most basic civil right, since its exercise is the chief means whereby other rights may be safeguarded. To deny the right to vote, where one is legally entitled to do so, is to do violence to the principles of freedom and equality.” - AZ Supreme Court Justice Levi Udall, in Harrison v. Laveen.

📺 📲 📻💻 Are you watching/listening to the presidential debate tonight?

Plan on watching more debates this year?

Remember televised political debates are relatively new (1960s) and were organized so media companies and networks could get people to watch television.

Note: the debate tonight is not being run by a non-partisan institution, but by a cable news network.

Stay focused on the issues, especially the ones you care about. Study, don’t just listen. Reading from trusted sources is more effective than hoowee.

👇🏽
One of the most effective things you can do tonight is check your voter registration status, update if needed, and help others do the same.
