Description
Robert Pilot welcomes Arvina Martin, who is a trailblazer as the first Native person ever elected to the Madison, Wisconsin Common Council and now the Executive Director of Emerge Wisconsin. They dive into why it’s so important for Native people to be in positions of power and how Emerge Wisconsin is creating a strong pipeline of talented women to run for office. Arvina also shares tips on how to get involved and make your voice heard, whether it’s by running for office yourself or simply supporting a local food pantry.
Listen in for an inspiring talk about political action, the value of diverse community leadership (including the amazing success rate of Emerge Wisconsin’s candidates!), and the ongoing fight for Tribal Sovereignty and self-determination. Robert and Arvina discuss local and national issues, reminding us that every single one of us has the power to shape the future of our communities.
