Western Native Voice Announces Community Tour

Western Native Voice, a leading advocacy organization dedicated to empowering Native American communities, is thrilled to announce its upcoming Legislative Community Tour. The tour aims to foster meaningful dialogue between elected officials and community members, promoting legislative accountability and strengthening civic engagement.

The Legislative Community Tour will visit rural and urban areas across Montana, allowing constituents to engage directly with their elected representatives, discuss important issues, and voice their concerns. With a focus on empowering Native American communities, the tour aims to amplify indigenous voices and ensure their needs and priorities are heard and addressed at the legislative level.

“We are excited to embark on this journey of legislative accountability,” said Ta’jin Perez, deputy director of Western Native Voice. “By bringing together community members and elected officials, we aim to create an open and inclusive space for dialogue, fostering understanding of the state legislative process and provide valuable input on the issues that matter to people.”
