In 1835, the Treaty of New Echota forcibly removed the Cherokee Nation from its homelands in Georgia to lands west of the Mississippi, resulting in the deaths of thousands on what became known as the Trail of Tears. The same Treaty also guaranteed the Cherokee Nation a delegate in Congress -- a promise that has never resulted in so much as a hearing, until now. The Senate and President Biden have already indicated their support.

Now it is up to the House of Representatives to act. We need your voice to urge your congressperson to do what is right!
