Your partnership has helped hospitals, health systems and health care providers continue to meet the needs of their patients and communities. Hospitals and health systems in Minnesota and across the U.S. received just over $100 billion in Medicare accelerated and advanced payment loans during 2020 to help fight COVID-19 (section 3719 of the CARES Act). Also last year, Congress extended the repayment terms of the expanded accelerated and advanced payment policy for Medicare providers, which was a tremendous help to providers.

    March 20, 2020 The Honorable Betty McCollum The Honorable David Joyce Chairwoman Ranking Member House Appropriations Subcommittee on House Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior, Environment & Related Agencies Interior, Environment & Related Agencies 2007 Rayburn House Office Building 1016 Longworth House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairwoman McCollum and Ranking Member Joyce: We are writing to thank the Subcommittee for its past support of funding for the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and respectfully request your support of a funding level of at least $170 million in the Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21) Interior, Environment & Related Agencies Appropriations bill. As you know, NEH is the main source of federal support for humanities research, teaching, preservation, public programming, and related activities in the U.S., providing competitive grant funding for research and scholarship in history, literature, foreign languages, and other fields that empower individuals in every congressional district with critical perspective and knowledge. Furthermore, NEH funding allocated through state humanities councils strengthens the cultural infrastructure of local communities in every state and territory throughout the nation. Additionally, investment in the humanities advances vital national interests by fostering a globally competitive workforce, strengthening civic engagement, preserving our cultural heritage, and protecting our national security. As our world becomes increasingly more interconnected, building a solid foundation in the humanities becomes even more critical, which is why the majority of our CIA analysts, State Department officials and staff members and diplomats at embassies across the globe are graduates of the humanities – as are leaders ranging from the late Steve Jobs to former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey.

    August 20, 2020 The Honorable Angie Craig The Honorable Ilhan Omar The Honorable Tom Emmer The Honorable Collin Peterson The Honorable Jim Hagedorn The Honorable Dean Phillips The Honorable Amy Klobuchar The Honorable Tina Smith The Honorable Betty McCollum The Honorable Pete Stauber Dear Members of the United States Congress representing Minnesota, Minnesotans and people across the country are experiencing incredible levels of hardship. Our communities face unacceptable and bleak realities: hunger, housing instability, and job loss have increased dramatically since the pandemic hit. While previous policy actions like the CARES Act were vital, they have proven insufficient, and the situation is worsening. The number of Minnesotans turning to food assistance through SNAP has increased 14 percent. More households are falling behind on rent, with 16 percent of Minnesota households in that boat. And the unemployment rate is higher than at any time during the Great Recession. We need action. As a community of nonprofits, we are practiced at and driven to taking action to create a more just and thriving world. The global pandemic and community uprisings against racial inequity are revealing more of the injustices that have always been present where nonprofits live and work. Failure to respond quickly and effectively will deepen racial inequity and result in a deeper and longer-lasting recession. There is a narrow window of opportunity for lasting and meaningful change, to define this new era as one where our communities can be successful in welcoming a future that allows all to thrive. You are members of one of the most important decision-making bodies in the world, with the unique power to pass a strong and swift policy response to meet this critical moment.

  • July 7, 2021 the Honorable Angie Craig the Honorable Tom Emmer
    July 7, 2021 The Honorable Angie Craig The Honorable Ilhan Omar The Honorable Tom Emmer The Honorable Michelle Fischbach The Honorable Jim Hagedorn The Honorable Dean Phillips The Honorable Amy Klobuchar The Honorable Tina Smith The Honorable Betty McCollum The Honorable Pete Stauber Dear Members of the Minnesota Congressional Delegation, Thank you for your continued support of colleges and universities across Minnesota. Your support during the course of the pandemic has made a profound difference for our students, our campuses, and the communities where we are located. As Congress looks ahead to the appropriation process, we strongly encourage you to support efforts in Congress to double the Pell Grant maximum and make the increase permanent by converting it to an entitlement. For 50 years, the Pell Grant has helped ensure equitable access to higher education in Minnesota and throughout the nation, but its current funding level is not adequate to meet the needs of lower-income students today. Doubling the grant would be transformational for the 114,682 Pell Grant recipients attending a college or university in Minnesota. Increasing Pell grants will increase college enrollment and improve college completion rates. Doubling the Pell Grant would ensure that our low-income and first-generation students will be able to earn a degree and graduate with modest or no student debt. And doubling the Pell Grant will help close income-based and race-based disparities in educational attainment and thereby help our State meet its postsecondary education attainment goals. At a time of continued economic and financial uncertainty, particularly for those communities that have been disproportionally impacted by COVID-19, no investment will have a more far- reaching and meaningful impact than doubling the Pell Grant.

  • June 30, 2020 the Honorable Mike Pompeo Secretary of State U.S. Department of State 2201 C Street NW Washington, DC 20520 Dear
    June 30, 2020 The Honorable Mike Pompeo Secretary of State U.S. Department of State 2201 C Street NW Washington, DC 20520 Dear Secretary Pompeo: We write to you to express our deep concern over the planned annexation of occupied Palestinian territory by the government of Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said annexation could begin as early as July 1, 2020. Should the Israeli government move forward with these plans, they would actively harm prospects for a future in which all Israelis and Palestinians can live with full equality, human rights and dignity, and would lay the groundwork for Israel becoming an apartheid state, as your predecessor John Kerry warned in 2014.1 We call on you to take all necessary action available to reverse course on this proposal, which will cause more tension and conflict for decades to come. While the full scope and details of the plan are not yet public, Palestinians have overwhelmingly rejected the idea of annexation, and have understandably refused to participate in a process that is not grounded in a recognition of their national rights under international law. Leading human rights experts warn that annexing parts of the West Bank will perpetuate and entrench human rights violations against the Palestinian people, including limitations on freedom of movement, mass expropriation of privately-owned Palestinian land, further expansion of illegal settlements, continued demolitions of Palestinian homes, and a loss of Palestinian control over their natural resources.2 Furthermore, Israel has stated it will not grant citizenship to Palestinians living in annexed territory or to the many more Palestinians living in the isolated enclaves that Israel will opt not to annex, formalizing in law the separate and unequal treatment of the two populations and paving the path toward an apartheid system.
