"EVERY VOTE COUNTS"

About Me

In April of 2008, Washington tribes, tribal leaders, and tribal members joined together to create Native Vote Washington.We are a non-partisan, non-profit corporation. Our goal is to raise our collective voice by increasing Native voting in every election.We are a grassroots organization that depends on YOU to help educate, activate and empower all Native people. Please share our message and goals with your friends!We are finishing plans for a statewide Summer Bus Tour that will travel to reservations across Washington in August. We hope to see you soon!Edited by Digital Smoke Signals (www.digitalsmokesignals.net)
