Friend,

Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), billions of dollars are being pumped into the U.S. economy to propel the clean energy transition. Now Tribal governments and Indigenous organizations have the opportunity to take full advantage of these funds to deliver the maximum benefits to their communities. IRA programs have the power to cut pollution, lower energy costs, create jobs, and more.

That's why I'm sitting down with NDN Collective Director of Policy and Advocacy Jade Begay, Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals Co-Director Nikki Cooley, Evergreen Executive Director Lena Moffitt, and Rosebud Sioux Indigenous Tribe Leader Wizipan Little Elk, who serves as the principal deputy assistant secretary of Indian Affairs at the Department of the Interior.

We're going to discuss how Tribal governments and Indigenous communities can tap into this historic funding and advance climate solutions.

You don't want to miss this, Friend. RSVP to save your seat for the live virtual event on Monday, May 15 at 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT.

The IRA is the biggest climate bill in American history, but much of its success hinges upon engagement at the local level. Though Indigenous communities have historically contributed the least to climate change, they are among the most affected by its consequences. And that's why this conversation is so important—we'll be sharing how the IRA specifically supports Tribal communities, how to apply for this funding, and the way this money can be used to maximize impact.

See you online,
