Indigenous-Led, Community-Rooted, and Local Solutions

We strongly believe in empowering locally and set out to build up the capacity of Indigenous community organizers. We are not just running campaigns–we are building year-round, long term political power. Arizona Native Vote’s field team has more than 30 years of experience both in local organizing and state and national campaigns.

When our team is present at schools, community centers, or making home visits, we are strengthening the local relationships. We also keep an eye out for potential staff. Increasing the number of Native field, data, communication, and development staff along with skilled directors and coordinators is critical.
