Our focus

Arizona Native Vote (ANV) is non-partisan 501c3 dedicated to building year-round tribal and rural political power. We do this by centering voters and communities and through our field and community programming efforts. We are building a bench of community organizers and leaders who are working to advance voting rights, tribal sovereignty, healthcare, education, and more.

  • We uplift local community knowledge around civic engagement, policy, and elections for all levels of government - tribal, county, state, and federal. Intergenerational organizing efforts are key to this work.

  • We provide culturally appropriate voter registration, electoral and civic education, and election information.

  • We hire local Indigenous and rural organizers to register their families and communities to vote, assist with voter identification, and engage residents Navajo, Apache, Coconino, and Gial Counties. Our engagement region includes communities on the Navajo Nation (AZ), White Mountain Apache Tribe, San Carlos Apache Tribe, and Hopi Tribe.
