Chief Seattle Club hosted Native Vote Now at the Impact Hub on October 25, 2018, an event promoting awareness and significance of civic engagement among its community members. Chief Seattle Club seeks to empower everyone from their youth to elders to participate in voting so that the voices of this community and its many members can be heard!

Chief Seattle Club’s mission is to provide a sacred space to nurture, affirm, and renew the spirit of urban Native people. Their leaders and organizers are genuine, kind, and passionate peoples energized by the desire to lift up their community members and fellow native communities. In this non-partisan event, they offered voter resources with voter registration booth and an opportunity to speak with political officials. They provided information in short stories and made a family-friendly party to celebrate the opportunity to vote and be heart!
