Nziki Wiltz
Regional Political Coordinator | New Orleans
Nziki is a New Orleans native who has cultivated a lifetime of care and support for her community. Since she was young, Nziki knew that she wanted to be an educator. Growing up, she had a strong desire to support the other children in her neighborhood, from making sure that those in need had access to food, to inviting people into her church. On January 24, 2019, Orleans Parish charged Nziki with racketeering on with her juvenile son, even though she had no knowledge or involvement with the crime. That sparked a passion in her to fight for the justice reform needed in our community. Shortly after, she became a VOTE member to create that change. Nziki successfully fought the charges and is no longer part of the criminal legal system. Two years later, she is now part of our Community Organizing Team and working on member engagement and voter registration.
