Effective organizing to make transformational change

Tribal sovereignty and Indigenous ways of life are under a constant threat from short-sighted government representatives and their policies. Without swift and effective organizing, change will happen slow or not at all. As the original people to this land, Indigenous priorities should be at the forefront of political activism. Native Organizers Alliance, along with our donors and partners, are driven to impact change and empower Indigenous leaders, people, and communities.
