Advocating for Native Peoples on Capitol Hill, by Rachel Overstreet (Choctaw)
March 9 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
| From her Washington, DC office as the Legislative Representative for Native American Advocacy at Friends Committee for National Legislation (FCNL), Rachel advocates for national policies that honor tribal sovereignty, help Native communities succeed, and repair relationships between faith communities, the government, and Native peoples. Currently, her main goal is to pass legislation to create a Truth and Healing Commission on the Indian Boarding Schools. |
| Read her article, Speaking with Friends About Indian Boarding Schools, in the January 2026 issue of Friends Journal. |
| Join us for Rachel’s talk and come with your questions for her, such as: Which bills are you currently advocating for or against? How do tribal nations and organizations influence your priorities? What is your approach to legislators of both parties? How can citizens engage with law makers most effectively? |
| Wednesday, March 18th, from 5-6:30pm PT, 6-7:30pm MT, 7-8:30pm CT, or 8-9:30pm ET. REGISTER HERE. |
