The Mobilization Center (TMC) created a shared Targetsmart VAN committee that allows TMC and Indigenous partners to collectively invest in improving data (like phone numbers and mailing addresses) in rural Alaska and “Indigenize” the voter file in this committee by adding layers of information relevant to Indigenous and rural organizing to increase voter turnout in rural areas in Alaska.
