Protect the Sacred is part of a nationwide effort to find new and creative ways to engage with young Indigenous voters. Earlier this year, they skated to the polls for the primary election. And as Cronkite News' Athena Ankrah reports, this month they gathered in Kayenta, Arizona, to ride on horseback to the polls ahead of the midterm election. ——– Early on a recent Saturday morning, a group of activists, advocates and actors mounted horses and rode through the red rock of El Capitán Mountain in Monument Valley. By lunchtime, they made it to Kayenta Rodeo Grounds on the Navajo Nation. Black mesas and the wide open desert surround the arena. Local Diné families sit in the bleachers. There, a green flag of a rider on horseback with the words “Reclaim Your Future” waves in the breeze. Mo Brings Plenty is a Lakota actor from South Dakota. He says events like “Ride to the Polls” can unite Black, Indigenous and people of color. “it's about coming together, it's about creating allies. It's about making many voices one large voice. And we're way overdue with that.” Of the 400,000 formally enrolled Diné, only 70,000 are registered to vote in Arizona. “We just recently had the primary election… Unfortunately, on the Navajo Nation, even though we are the biggest tribe, we only had about 13% of our people, our registered voters, come out to vote.” That's Nathaniel Brown, the Navajo Nation Council Delegate for Kayenta and two other communities. He says in-person voting on the reservation is challenging. “Some of our people from Navajo Mountain, when they come out to vote at the county and state level, they have to travel four hours one way.” Brown says mail-in ballots can be even trickier. “Out here in rural Navajo Nation -- which the whole nation is -- we don't have physical addresses for the most part." That's why grassroots organizer Allie Young decided to take steps to get young people and elder members of the community to the polls. “I's a demonstration to say that even though different laws have been passed the past couple of years that have aimed to suppress our votes, especially in BIPOC communities, that we're not going to let that happen. We're still going to, you know, show up in our power. And by voting, we're reclaiming our power.” Young led the first ride to the polls in 2020. This year to emphasize the importance of voting, young invited speakers from across the country, including Rogelio Diaz. He's the co-founder of Connecting Compton, a nonprofit in California. “At the end of the day, some of the rules that exist right now are not working for us. And so we have to begin to figure out a strategy and vote for things that are going to work out for us. I think it's a necessity that we all vote, we make the difference.” For attendee Joy Wero, the event reminded her of her own family's struggle for suffrage. “My grandmother, I'm pretty sure her and her ancestors were, you know, fighting and putting their lives on the line just to hear their voices heard. But yet, I'm here and all we have to do is register, sign and register to vote.” Though voter turnout has historically been low here, numbers have spiked over the last two presidential elections. Voters on the Navajo and nearby Hopi reservations cast nearly 20,000 more votes in 2020 than in 2016, according to election data. The ride to the polls event is just one of several efforts to mobilize the Diné voting bloc before the midterm election on November 8. And when people cast their ballots on the Navajo Nation this year… the “I voted” stickers will be written in Diné Bizaad; the Navajo language.

Dine activist Allie Young, founder of Protect the Sacred, joins Danielle Moodie to talk about the issues facing the Navajo Nation that often go ignored in the mainstream media. Support Woke AF at Patreon.com/WokeAF.
Allie is many things, an activist, actor, writer, founder, etc. She's a leader and most recently founded Protect the Sacred. An organization founded to combat COVID-19 on the Navajo Nation. With the many challenges that the Navajo Nation faced, we needed help and Allie saw a way to fill a void and just went for it. Time was not on our side with COVID-19 and the Navajo people so her quick action saved lives and made a lasting impact on the youth. She was also in the film industry prior to her current role, running Protect the Sacred. We delve into her experiences as an Indigenous woman in the film industry but also how that informed her about where Hollywood is with Native representation. Listen to this conversation and enjoy!

Thomas (Author of YA Fiction, Poetry and Short Stories), all about her new novel Falling Down Girl, which is now available on Amazon in print and digital. RT will be asking Cheri about the writing process, the characters and just how exactly this crazy book came to be! Falling Down Girl After poet Allie Young turned down her live-in boyfriend’s sixth proposal, she knew she needed a change. Fleeing her hometown of Canton, Michigan, she has spent a year in Paris working at a literary magazine, and toying with her poetry manuscript. When the magazine closes it’s doors, she realizes she must return. With no other options, she moves in with her widowed sixty-seven-year-old mother, who seems to live her life based upon sound bites from popular daytime talk shows and women’s magazines, and who has embarked upon a rigorous dating life in Allie’s absence. Floundering, and unable to complete her manuscript, Allie runs into her ex and his new fiancee’, and is stunned by her spectacular engagement ring, which on its own, outshines all six of the rings he’d given Allie. With support from her best friend, handsome, gay bartender Phillip, she begins the adventure of putting her life back together, plotting about her ex, and constantly running into a certain odd stranger. Will Allie discover why she can’t stop thinking about that engagement ring? Will Phillip find the love of his life at wine camp? Will Allie's mother become senior playmate of the month? Will Allie sell out before she’s really even begun?
