Friends - We hope you can join us for a special call this week with Congressman Cedric Richmond, White House Director of Public Engagement, taking place Thursday, 3/18, at 12pm ET. RSVP here to attend. On the call, we'll provide a summary of the American Rescue Plan - President Biden's historic anti-poverty bill, which he signed into law last week - and what it means for you and your communities. We hope you can make it, and please invite interested colleagues and friends!
If you missed last week's call, you can view the recording here. And, if you have colleagues, community members, and others who are interested in getting our updates, they can do so by signing up here.
We look forward to seeing you Thursday!
All best,
White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships Team

At this point in the COVID 19 pandemic, many Indian health system providers have fully vaccinated their first cohort of patients and now have a better idea of both the challenges and best practices of the vaccine rollout. NIHB invites those stakeholders, along with Tribal leaders, Tribal health administrators, Tribal public health staff, Tribal advocates, and citizens to join us for an NIHB hosted discussion session where we can share what we have learned so far.
How will NIHB use this information? NIHB will use the feedback to inform our ongoing advocacy efforts and Tribes will have a chance to learn from their peers and share what has worked in their communities.
The Virtual Tribal Vaccine All Tribes Call will take place on Friday, March 19 at 3:00 PM eastern. We hope you will join us!
