SOVEREIGNTY IN ACTION
Get Out the Native Vote - Democracy is Indigenous
The Urban Native Collective’s "Sovereignty in Action" initiative builds on the deeply rooted Indigenous principles of democracy, community, and consensus. By mobilizing Native Peoples across Ohio and Northern Kentucky, this effort empowers communities to exercise their electoral power and protect their rights in today’s political systems. 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 Peoples, making voting more accessible for all through a nonpartisan "Sovereignty Ticket."
OUR MISSION
Our "Sovereignty in Action" campaign focuses on empowering Native Peoples in Ohio and Northern Kentucky to build electoral power, make voting more accessible, and uphold the sovereignty of Tribal Nations in the political process. By leveraging the deep connections we have with Tribal leadership and National Native movement leaders, we are uniquely positioned to lead efforts that address the specific needs of Urban Native communities.
In partnership with the National Urban Indian Family Coalition, NCAI’s NativeVote.org, and Illuminative, we equip our communities with the tools they need to navigate elections, protect their rights, and make their voices heard.
