The suffrage movement was influenced by the spiritual and political structures of Indigenous communities, and many Indigenous women were vital suffrage leaders.

On this #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we recognize and honor those suffragists, including Zitkála-Šá of the Yankton Dakota Sioux, Marie Louise Bottineau Baldwin of the Métis Turtle Mountain Chippewa, Susette LaFlesche Tibbles of the Omaha, and countless others.

We benefit from doing our work to empower voters and defend democracy on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone, the original inhabitants of San Francisco.

"The Mokoloki town has a 11 percent stake in the minigrid project. The community power association (CPA), made up of nominated members of the town, reflecting gender balance and inclusive representation of minority groups, also gets a vote in key decisions affecting the minigrid.

As with the percentage share of ownership, the community now receives 11 % of revenues accruing to the minigrid after all operational costs and expenses have been settled. "
