The Center for Civic Participation

Sage Council

VOTER WORK

The Native American Voters Alliance (NAVA) is a project of the SAGE Council which was developed 2 years ago in the city of Albuquerque. Weíve built a voter base of 2,000 Native Americans living in Albuquerque and had success in getting a large majority of them to vote in recent citywide elections. There are many issues that affect the urban Indian community though we are largely a disenfranchised community from both the urban, tribal and statewide resources. NAVA allows us to strengthen political literacy and civic participation in the context of local, state and Federal policy. This year weíve invited key Native American organizations who are active in the community to assist us in expanding NAVA. We are collectively seeking to build a Native American voter base in which to strengthen and address issues we are all currently facing.
