US Chamber of Commerce - Equality of Opportunity In Action: Inclusive Infrastructure Investment
2022-01-25 13:00 | Virtual Event
Join the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, January 25 at 2:00 p.m. ET for Equality of Opportunity in Action: Inclusive Infrastructure Investment.
Disparities in public infrastructure have profound costs on communities of color. Past decisions on highway placement in decades past continue to separate minority neighborhoods from commercial districts. Today, fewer transit options and longer commutes from minority neighborhoods to job centers can make it more difficult to maintain employment and balance family obligations.
The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act recently signed into law by President Biden provides a once-in-a-generation opportunity to close the opportunity gaps that exist in our nation’s core infrastructure.
Featuring policy experts, this program will examine this historic investment and the opportunities it presents for minority-owned businesses and communities of color.

There will be ample opportunity for participants to ask questions of the presenters during the online session. The Town Hall is free but participants will need to register in advance.

National Indian Health Board
Hearing Native Mothers: A Tribal Discussion Session on a Campaign to Support Healthy American Indian and Alaska Native Pregnancies and Maternal Health
What: Discussion session to hear Tribal input on maternal health campaign
When: Thursday, January 27, 2022
Time: 1:00-2:30 PM ET
Who should attend? This session is for Tribal health directors, Tribal public health professionals, Tribal leaders, and community members who are interested in providing input on a proposed campaign to support healthy pregnancies and postpartum health for AI/AN people.
Register – After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the webinar.
Mothers are cherished, sacred members of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities, and hold distinct roles of nourishing, teaching, and leading their families. For many, pregnancy can be an exciting, joyous time. However, while rare, too many mothers die each year from complications related to pregnancy, and AI/AN people are disproportionately affected.
The National Indian Health Board (NIHB) is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to better understand and amplify the ways in which AI/AN mothers, partners, caregivers, and community members can best keep mothers and babies healthy and safe during pregnancy and beyond. It is essential to work together to protect native families and communities.
Join NIHB and the CDC for a special discussion session on a new campaign segment aimed to support AI/AN healthy pregnancies and postpartum health, based on the existing Hear Her campaign. During the session, CDC speakers will provide a brief overview of the campaign. Time will then be allotted for Tribal participants to provide input on the proposed campaign themes and materials, and best strategies for reaching Tribal communities.
For questions please contact Mattie Curry, Public Health Project Coordinator at mcurry@nihb.org or 202-507-4087.
