SOVEREIGNTY IN ACTION
Voting is our Resistance
Native Vote 2024! The Urban Native Collective’s "Sovereignty in Action" campaign builds on the deeply rooted Indigenous principles of democracy, community, and consensus. By mobilizing Native Peoples across Ohio, Northern Kentucky, and Indiana, this effort empowers our Indigenous community members to exercise their electoral power and protect their rights in today’s political systems. Voting is our Resistance! As the most representative Urban Native organization in the region, our 100% Native-led board and staff maintain strong connections to Tribal leadership and National Native movement leaders. This ensures that our work is guided by the voices and needs of our Indigenous Peoples, making voting more accessible for all through a nonpartisan "Sovereignty Ticket."
