John – it’s Native American Heritage Month, and we’re celebrating Emerge’s visionary Indigenous alums changing the face of politics right now. We can’t wait to introduce you!Â
You may know that Secretary Deb Haaland (Emerge New Mexico) made history as the FIRST Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary. But that’s not Haaland’s only historic first. When she ran for New Mexico’s first congressional district in 2018 and WON, she became one of the first Native American women ever elected to Congress. Haaland has worked tirelessly for over a decade to build a truly inclusive democracy in the U.S.
April Fournier (Emerge Maine) made history as the FIRST Native American woman to serve as an at-large member of the Portland City Council. She brings her vast experience as a community organizer and advocate to this work, helping to ensure that the needs of all Portland’s residents are heard. April is a member of the Dine’ (Navajo) Nation.Â
John, we are stronger, more resilient, and more just as a country when our elected officials reflect the full range of our identities, cultures, and experiences.Â
By empowering more Indigenous women to run for office at every level, Emerge is making major strides to building the democracy all our communities deserve. But we need your help to build on success and see MORE Indigenous women in politics.Â
So please: Will you donate $5 or more to Emerge now to recruit, train, and empower bold Democratic women to run and win in 2024 and beyond?
