While the Frank LaMere Native American Presidential Forum waits on Senator Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders to arrive, read his "Empower Tribal Nations" platform. #NativeForum #NativeVote2020 #NativeVote berniesanders.com/issues/empower…
@BernieSanders It's not as detailed as his 2016 platform but here are some 2020 highlights from @BernieSanders:
* Honor Native American tribal treaty rights and sovereignty, moving away from a relationship of paternalism and control toward one of deference and support. #HonorTheTreaties
* Reauthorize and expand the Violence Against Women Act to provide critical resources to women in Indian country and allow all tribes to prosecute non-Native criminals. #VAWA #TribalJurisdiction #JusticeForNativeWomen #VAWA4All #VAWA4MMIW #MMIW

Speaking on the Senate floor with my colleagues to shine a spotlight on the crisis of missing & murdered indigenous women & girls. For too long this crisis has brought terror & pain to tribal communities across my home state of WA & the nation. #MMIW #JusticeForNativeWomen
The epidemic of missing and murdered Native women isn’t an urban problem or a rural problem.

This is an alarming trend devastating communities across my state every day—and Native women and girls are paying the ultimate price. #MMIW
I’m grateful for Native leaders & organizations like @Sihb1, who released a landmark report with critical data & insights on this crisis. This information is a major step toward fully understanding and ending the decades-long epidemic. #MMIW
