2020 horse race? not so fast...

Čhaŋté waštéya napé čhiyúzapi yeló, Friend. (I shake your hands with a good heart.) I can't blame people for focusing so much on the 2020 presidential race, in fact Four Directions is host the official Native American Presidential Forum in August.   But on September 10th, voters in North Carolina's 9th Congressional District will hold their "Do Over" election.  You know about the massive success Four Directions has had with our voter engagement program, and we're turning to you to support our work with the Lumbee Tribe, which has about 20,000 votes that haven't been turned out before.   What I'm saying is, you have the opportunity - right now - to make the difference in this race.  Will you help us?  Will you please contirbute to turn out these votes?  Please click an amount below that you can afford to help get Lumbee voters to the ballot box. Donate $10 Donate $25 Donate $50 Donate $100 Other Amount Friend, while there are many worthwhile groups and organizations to support, we're reminded that less than 1/10th of 1% of all charitable giving goes to support Native Americans.  So with that in mind, we would like to have you strongly consider making Four Directions' work a priority in your giving.  If you would like to make the biggest difference, please help with a $25 or another amount now.
