Today, as the nation pauses to remember and celebrate the life and service of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. We know that there is still a long road to Dr. King’s goal to ensure full voting rights for all Americans.
NARF has identified and documented specific and unique barriers Native Americans face when they try to vote in state and federal elections. You can read about this unequal treatment in our report, Obstacles at Every Turn: Barriers to Political Participation Faced by Native American Voters.
In the report you will find stories of intentional discrimination. Acts that take away the Native American voice and political power. You will read about politicians putting their own interests and re-election over the will of the people. Defending voting rights is the pressing civil rights issue of our time.
