GET TO KNOW US
Who We Are
The California Democratic Party’s Native American Caucus was formed to reach out and bring into the Democratic Party interested registered Democrats who support the goals and objectives of inclusion, political education, voter training, outreach, legislative tracking, research, and participation in the official Democratic Party for all people.
The Caucus was formed with particular focus on including the Native American communities of California in the furtherance of Democratic ideals, issues, and political participation.
Further, the Native American Caucus will work to increase educational, economic, and social opportunities while preserving cultural heritage of the state’s minority populations.
WHAT WE DO
Our Mission Statement
The Native American Caucus of the California Democratic Party seeks to raise political and civic consciousness to Native American issues while preserving the cultural heritage of the state’s minority and indigenous populations.
The Caucus strives to accomplish this by increasing political participation of individuals in all activities of the Democratic Party, in particular, expanding Native American representation in voter registration, voter education, legislative tracking, outreach to interested Democratic Assembly Districts, County Central Committees, Democratic Clubs, community and civic organizations.
FULFILLING THE MISSION
Our Goals
Enhance political and public awareness, education, involvement and civic responsibility among Native Americans.
Promote voter registration and outreach and encourage Native Americans to exercise their rights to vote and to run for public office.
Promote public awareness of the political status of tribal nations through media education.
Identify issues of concern to Native Americans and pursue solutions through the democratic process.
THE PROCESS
Our Approach
To realize these goals, Caucus members will provide assistance in introducing and joining together members of local Democratic Clubs, Assembly Districts, and County Committees with interested individuals and groups from the California Indian Nations.
Members will also coordinate with the local Native American communities both on and off reservations for the purpose of active participation, without discrimination, within the California Democratic Party and in accordance with the rules of the State party.
