Nziki Wiltz

Regional Political Coordinator, Voters Organized to Educate

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. In 2020 she became part of our Community Organizing Team working on member engagement and voter registration, and in 2022 transferred to Voters Organized as our C4’s first Regional Political Coordinator. ​
