Mothers of IDF soldiers build a new anti-war movement

There are a group of voters capable of shaking up swing states, places like Nevada, Wisconsin, and Michigan. I think what I'm most excited about is that Native Americans are poised to make a huge difference in the upcoming election. According to 2020 U.S. Census Bureau data, there are 9.7 million people who identify as Native American, or 2.9% of the total U.S. population. Historically, Indigenous communities have been overlooked during election cycles. But in recent years, the tides of political influence have begun to rise as Native American voter turnout has increased. During the 2020 presidential election, Native American voters in Arizona were credited with helping President Biden secure that swing state. Really, Native Americans can swing this upcoming presidential election and certainly effectuate change in their communities if they get out and vote. Jacqueline DeLeon is a senior staff attorney with the Native American Rights Fund, a nonprofit which has provided legal assistance to Native American tribes, organizations, and individuals for more than 50 years. According to the Fund's 2020 Comprehensive Field Hearing Report, only 66% of the eligible Native American voting population is registered to vote. DeLeon says securing voting access for Native American communities has been an uphill battle for decades because of a series of persistent barriers and legal battles. And the fight isn't over. What those unreasonable barriers communicate to Native communities is that voting isn't made for them and isn't for them. So what are some of these barriers? Many homes across Indian country lack addresses and consequently lack residential mail delivery. So vote by mail is difficult or requires a substantial trip to a post office that may be a rural post office open very few hours. And getting to the ballot box can be a massive challenge too. Too often, polling places are located off the reservation. They require travel over poor roads. They require a car that many impoverished Native Americans simply don't have. Dismantling these barriers is no easy task, but it is a task that organizations like the Rural Utah Project have been taking on. The nonprofit's mission is to empower underrepresented voters through voter registration and education. Since 2019, the Rural Utah Project has managed to assign addresses needed to register to vote to more than 3,100 homes within the southeast Utah portion of the Navajo Nation. They did so by setting folks up with Google Plus codes, which are addresses based on short and latitude and longitude coordinates. Daylene Redhorse is the addressing specialist behind the project. She says her journey began when she realized her home was marked in the wrong precinct. And that kind of pushed me out there like, no, no, my people, my indigenous tribes have a right, have a say, have, you know, the only way to express your opinion is through your vote, and they're not taking that from us. Using maps, Redhorse and her team pinned every structure on the Navajo Nation in southeast Utah. From there, they went door to door, verifying which were homes, who lived there, and securing folks a Google Plus code if their home didn't have an address, the first step towards becoming registered voters. It took some talking, some convincing, and finally we gained trust with some of the residents and coming to find out it had its benefits. Redhorse says the Google Plus codes have also opened the door for better access to emergency and delivery services. We still have some people that are skeptical, like, oh, I wouldn't be, you know, I don't matter. Nobody listens to me. It's not about that. Put in your say, you know, express your opinions through your vote. At least you've said something. Because at the end of the day, every American citizen is entitled to representatives that listen to them, that understand their issues and are engaged with them. The bottom line is, is that Native American votes are valuable. Meg Hilling, Scripps News.
