Organization

Naeva, formerly Native American Voters Alliance, emerged from the fight to protect New Mexico’s sacred site, The Petroglyphs. We battled the City of Albuquerque’s plan to build a highway through it, sparking involvement in tax, bond, and infrastructure debates. Witnessing powerful influences in local politics, we mobilized hundreds to pressure lawmakers. Over two decades, we expanded campaigns to include predatory lending and environmental justice. Rooted in Diné, Pueblo, and urban Indigenous communities, our mission remains: empowering an informed Indigenous electorate. We unite stakeholders to enhance Indigenous quality of life through education and community organizing. Partnering with NM Native Vote, we collaborate with Tribal communities and advocate for social, economic, and environmental justice.
