The League of Women Voters of Ashland and Bayfield Counties will hold our Fall Membership Meeting on Monday, October 4th, 2021 from 7:00 – 8:30 pm. The meeting will be co-sponsored with Wisconsin Conservation Voices, a digital advertising campaign, and Wisconsin Native Vote. Wisconsin Native Vote was founded in 2011 to overcome voter suppression that Native people have been subject to for generations. Wisconsin Native Vote focuses on engaging Native American Voters through grassroots organizing efforts.

Denise "Dee" Sweet serves as the Native Vote Manager. Her work includes registering voters, educating them about the electoral process and helping to build awareness about the environmental issues that are important to the tribal citizens in Wisconsin and the Great Lakes region.

We have invited Paul DeMain (Skabewis) to be our guest speaker. He would like to share information on Climate Change, Honor the Earth Encampment and Resistance to MN Line 3.

Paul DeMain is the founder of News from Indian Country and CEO of Indian Country Communications. He has served as past president of the Native American Journalists Association. DeMain is currently chair of Honor the Earth board of directors and is an active opponent of Enbridge Line 3 oil pipeline replacement. Paul is a citizen of the Oneida Nation and a descendant of the White Earth Band of Anishinaabeg.
