Native America Calling
August 19 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Native America Calling at the Democratic National Convention
Today, August 19 – Chicago welcomes the Democratic National Convention
For their most important public gathering in the presidential election, Democrats have chosen to meet on the traditional lands of the Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Ojibwe, Odawa, and a handful of other nations. The state has no established federally recognized tribes, but the number of Chicago citizens who identify as Native American has more than doubled in the past 10 years. We’ll be in Chicago, talking with Native Chicago residents who are also clued in to the Democratic political process about what the party is doing to reach Native voters and what sets them apart from their political rivals.
And tune into our special Thursday night broadcast and webcast hosted by Shawn & Shaun featuring Vice President Kamala Harris’ acceptance speech on Native America Calling‘s digital channels and your local station between 7:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. PT.
