The Commission is composed of independent members from diverse backgrounds; it has been working for a year to identify improvements to USDA programs\, policies\, systems\, and practices to lower barriers to access and address systemic discrimination and racial\, economic\, health\, and social disparities. The Commission’s report and USDA’s response can be accessed at usda.gov/equity\, where USDA will continue to share updates on its progress. \nJoin a briefing on the Equity Commission interim report and USDA’s equity efforts broadly. Secretary Vilsack and several USDA officials will update the public on steps USDA is taking under Secretary Vilsack’s direction to improve equity and eliminate disparate barriers to its programs\, including: \n\nThe Equity Commission’s recommendations\nProgress under Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Section 22006 to help distressed farm loan borrowers\, and under Section 22007 to establish a program to provide financial assistance to farm loan borrowers who experienced discrimination.\nEquity action planning across the Department.\n\nPlease remember to register beforehand and submit any questions you may have by midnight on Tuesday\, February 28. \n

SUMMARY:Sacred Stories: Indigenous-Led Conservation of Lands and Waterways
DESCRIPTION:Native Americans in Philanthropy\, Center for American Progress\, and Biodiversity Funders Group invite you to a special event on March 7th at 5:30pm. Doors will open for refreshments at 5:00pm. \nPlease join us to hear from Native leaders from Santa Clara Pueblo and Nez Perce Tribe working at the critical intersection of climate\, conservation\, and land management\, as well as an opening blessing by traditional singers and drummers. \nNative Americans in Philanthropy and the Center for American Progress are working together to support a conservation agenda driven by Indigenous traditional ecological leadership and storied knowledge of our lands and waterways.

These Native leaders are doing innovative and critical work that draws on long-held knowledge and conservation practices that can help restore our lands and mitigate the impacts of climate change. \nDoors will open at 5:00pm for drinks and hors d’eouvres. Drinks and appetizers will also be served following the program’s conclusion. \nRSVP for the event \nDate: March 7\, 2023\nTime: 5:00 – 7:00 pm ET \nCenter for American Progress\n1333 H St NW\, Washington DC
