Today at the 14th Conference of Parliamentarians of the Arctic Region, I spoke to the future of the #Arctic and questioned the panel on how we can utilize the lessons learned from #COVID19 to work more cooperatively and collaboratively in the Arctic. https://t.co/JF2ec9BX16 — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to all the organizations and individuals at the state, local, and tribal level who have helped get more Alaskans vaccinated and driven us forward on the path back to normal. https://t.co/ofDVIh1J5C — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Despite many unique challenges, #Alaska ranks among America's top states w/ distributing #COVID19 vaccines. Alaska’s tribal health organizations have been instrumental in the successful rollout of vaccines - some Native villages having vaccinated nearly 90% of their communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

We also strongly encourage @usedgov to explore a number of options for distributing these funds to ensure that both the immediate and larger, long-term needs are met. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In our letter my colleagues and I called for continued collaboration between ED and the Senate to distribute the funds to support vulnerable homeless children and youth – a population whose issues have only been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

This funding was included in the ARP through an amendment I offered with @Sen_JoeManchin and @SenatorSinema. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I led a letter w/ @Sen_JoeManchin, @SenatorBurr, Sen. @PattyMurray & @SenatorSinema to @SecCardona detailing priorities on the implementation of $800M in K-12 funding from the American Rescue Plan Act to address youth homelessness. https://t.co/gCNJdyZap8 — PolitiTweet.org

Children and youth experiencing homelessness need comprehensive, wrap-around services in order to recover from the loss and disruption caused by the #COVID19 pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

These articles play a key role in providing up-to-date and relevant information to help inform #MMIWG efforts. We must continue to shine a light on the MMIWG crisis and prevent violence in these communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Articles address topics such as building a multijurisdictional response; victim services; criminal jurisdiction in Indian country; investigating cold cases; the role of public health in prevention of violence; and trauma-informed, culturally relevant psychological responses. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I applaud the @TheJusticeDept for publishing two editions of the Journal of Federal Law and Practice focused on issues related to missing or murdered American Indians and Alaska Natives. https://t.co/nGAZBrbrSO — PolitiTweet.org

We also discussed @AlaskaCorps' potential projects they’ll carry out with Congressional funding I helped secure, including their operations and maintenance efforts work to dredge the Port of Alaska as well as harbors in Dillingham, Homer, Ninilchik, Nome, and Wrangell. https://t.co/EP1KXmI5SO — PolitiTweet.org

In Alaska, #COVID19 has unfortunately exacerbated the challenges of homelessness. Through efforts at the local level as well as my work to address homelessness in the recent COVID relief package, I hope this vulnerable population will see significant relief. https://t.co/2yzYAYUrys — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

While in Anchorage, I joined Lisa Sauder, CEO of @BeansCafeAK, the nonprofit operating the shelter, for a visit to the Sullivan Arena which has served as a temporary shelter for those experiencing homelessness throughout the #COVID19 pandemic. https://t.co/VgPkG6741J — PolitiTweet.org

China has recently claimed to be a “near Arctic” state. The U.S., as a true #Arctic nation, must not only invest in our own interests but also ensure the interests of others, including China, are in accordance with the established roles and norms of the region. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Provisions include prioritizing investments such as icebreakers and establishing a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Arctic Affairs. The #Arctic is a national asset and should be treated as such. https://t.co/srrsIJ7px3 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Proud my legislative efforts on #Arctic diplomacy were included in the base bill of the Strategic Competition Act of 2021, comprehensive legislation to counter China by confronting the nation’s economic and geopolitical power. https://t.co/srrsIJ7px3 — PolitiTweet.org
