FCNL is pleased to announce that effective May 28, Rachel Overstreet (Choctaw Nation), will join FCNL full-time as legislative representative for Native American advocacy! We are excited for her to join as a permanent lead lobbyist as our program evolves from the temporary congressional advocate model.
More than 300 young adults joined us for Spring Lobby Weekend to advocate for the Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding Schools Policies Act. Advocates met with over 100 offices and secured two new cosponsors – Rep. Jerry Nadler (NY-12) and Rep. Paul Tonko (NY-20). And more offices have expressed an interest in joining the bill! We applaud the powerful voices of our young adult network.
