3rd Annual Native Youth Summit

Arizona Native Vote took part in Protect the Sacred’s Native Youth Summit in Farmington, NM! We are grateful for the time to connect, be inspired, and participate in the #NativeVote panel. We are incredibly proud of our young people who are stepping up, taking on leadership roles, learning how to organize, and strategizing ways to help register people to vote and get them to the polls in 2024.

Stay tuned for more Native Youth and community collaborations with all these amazing organizations and people. Ahéhee’ Allie Young, Taylor Bennett-Begay, and the I Will Harness team for hosting and bringing us all together.
