Communities are recovering from the pandemic, but there's still a ways to go. @cmleader and CEOs from @leagueofcities @PublicHealth @ymca, some of the nation’s largest membership associations, have an important message on how we can each do our part. #wecandoit #BlackCEOs4VaxEd

[Marc Ott @cmleader]

This initiative speaks to heart of the missions @ceanthony50, @KevinWashYMCA, Dr. Benjamin & other CEO colleagues lead and embody across their organizations. I am proud to lend my voice to a cause of this magnitude. @leagueofcities @PublicHealth @ymca #wecandoit #BlackCEOs4VaxEd

@bruce_katz Some places are cautious, awaiting Treasury’s final rule. Others are building on strategic plans and early engagement to identify and update priorities.

@aPolishgirl @ezraklein @GovLarryHogan Supply to MD county health departments is small. Montgomery County is prioritizing 75 and older but my 84-year-old neighbor still cannot get an appointment as supply is so limited. She is totally frustrated by the pharmacy option.

@leagueofcities strongly supports the @OversightDems package providing $350 billion in flexible aid for cities, towns and villages. We urge Congress to pass the bill for #COVIDReliefNow. #CitiesAreEssential https://t.co/ewk8qtHGjK

[E Kellar @ekkellar]

@leagueofcities @IrmaDiggs Contact Congress today to urge direct, flexible funding for local governments be included in the COVID relief package. Negotiations continue but time is short.

Let them know the fiscal situation your community faces and the need for timely action to support emergency needs and to help your small businesses and struggling residents.

@IrmaDiggs @politico Senators need to hear from the front lines about how important this funding is to local governments and what the consequences are if they drop the ball.
