Indigenous Peoples’ Day reminds us that civic participation has deep roots in San Francisco, the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone. The right to have a say in how this city is governed is one generations have fought for.

Make sure Indigenous voices are part of the city’s story. Be a voter! lwvsf.org/vote

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.
