FOUR DIRECTIONS is the only national organization that focuses on turning out the Native American vote cycle after cycle – a very loyal voting block that casts its ballots overwhelmingly for Democratic candidates.
Because they are one of the primary groups we are looking to support this year, we asked them to participate in a Q & A with us on Balloon Juice.
Joining us today from FOUR DIRECTIONS are Oliver (O.J.) Semans, Co-Executive Director, and Lewis Cohen, Finance Director.

We asked FOUR DIRECTIONS to tell us more about their organization:
Our get-out-the-vote method centers on hiring First Americans in the particular state we are focusing on, who will work on mobilizing both registered and unregistered Natives. At any given time during the course of a political cycle, we can have anywhere from several hundred to over a thousand people working for us, either full-time or part-time, focusing on GOTV issues.
