Annual Washington
Citizens Equal Rights Alliance
(CERA), is a 25 years old national organization of local
community elected officials and leaders, legal counsels, tribal members and
citizens focused on flawed federal Indian policies that deprive tribal members
of their civil and constitutional rights, and intruding upon the
jurisdictional and regulatory authority of towns, cities and counties located
within or near Indian reservations. CERA/CERF has members in 28 states; its 20-member
Board of Directors reside in 15 states across the country. CERA provides a
focused resource for legal counsels, community leaders, and citizens who are
unfamiliar with or struggling with federal Indian policy conflicts.
