Womxn's History Month is a time to celebrate and honor the brave, bold, and fearless indigenous womxn who have and who continue to influence and contribute to our Nations. The important role Indigenous womxn have played in shaping our tribal nation and the world can often be overlooked, whether in the fields of science, politics, environment, legal, the arts, and more.
This month, the Coalition top Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW) will reflect, celebrate and honor the work of indigenous womxn who have and who continue to make our communities safe by sharing quotes from indigenous womxn who inspire us every day. In addition, there is nothing more meaningful and powerful than telling someone that they’ve made an impact in your life, especially if that individual is a womxn. CSVANW staff will be writing and sharing thank you notes to womxn who inspire them to be brave, bold and fearless. Join us and write a thank you note to an amazing womxn who inspire you to be brave, bold and fearless. You can keep the note, hand-deliver the note or send it in the mail to brighten up their day.
As part of Womxn’s History Month, we are continuing to be inclusive and mindful when we talk about honoring Indigenous womxn. Which is why we continue to use the word “womxn” instead of “women.” Womxn is an effort to stress the concept that womxn are their own separate individuals. In addition, the word is seen as intersectional, as it includes transgender womxn, womxn of color, and each different self-distinguishing womxn out there.
Sunday, March 8, 2020 is International Women’s Day (IWD). IWD is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of womxn. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. This year’s IWD 2020 theme is #EachforEqual – an equal world is an enabled world. CSVANW will be supporting #EachforEqual, and we encourage to you join us, by striking the #EachforEqual pose and a call to action to challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions, improve situations and celebrate indigenous womxn’s achievements around the world. Together, we do more and together, we are the movement.
Join us as we recognize and honor all the Indigenous womxn working in tribal communities working with tribal communities as leaders, politicians, artists, teachers, doctors, advocates, water protectors, lawyers, law enforcement, scientists, and the list goes on. These womxn continue to flourish to make our communities safe and resilient. They inspire a new generation of Indigenous womxn and young folks to become leaders in their own communities across this nation and around the world. #WomxnsHistoryMonth

February 26, 2020
CSVANW attended the Statewide Census 2020 Gathering on Wednesday, February 26, 2020, at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. The census gathering brought together census advocates who are all working to ensure a complete and fair count in the 2020 census in New Mexico. The gathering had local Complete Count Committee leaders, government agencies, nonprofit and Tribal organizations, and philanthropic partners. We got to hear from census colleagues and advocates across the state about what is working in their communities. Learned how to work with media in your community to educate and motivate census participation. Received census outreach tools and resources specific to engaging communities. We learned to develop messaging templates for reaching hard-to-count communities and much more.

The 2020 Census is Coming Up. Are you ready? |
Why Get Counted?
Every 10 years, the federal government conducts a count of every citizen in the United States as required by the U.S. Constitution. The data collected is used to allocate resources to all Americans and is a vital part of our democracy.
The Census is used to allocate seats and draw district lines for the U.S. House of Representatives, state legislatures, and local boards to target more than $800 billion annually in federal assistance to states, tribes and families. Each decade the count also guides community decision-making affecting schools, housing, health care services and business investment. These functions depend on a fair and accurate Census count.
Native Americans in New Mexico could lose political representation if we are undercounted. We currently have six Native American state House districts and three state Senate where the Native American population is over 50%. If Native Americans are undercounted, we could lose these districts at the state and local levels.
