Administration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 2021 Remarks at a Virtual Meeting with Governors May 11, 2021 Administration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 2021 Remarks at a Virtual Meeting With Governors May 11, 2021 The President. Well, first of all, hi, everybody. It's good to—I'm supposed to look over here and not at you guys. [Laughter] But we got six Governors with us today—Democrats and Republicans, are—and they're meeting the moment: Governor Mills of Maine, Governor DeWine of Ohio, Governor Cox of Utah, Governor Walz of Minnesota, Governor Baker of Massachusetts, and Governor Lujan Grisham of New Mexico. And it's great to connect with you all. You know, last week, I provided an update on where we were with our vaccination program and what comes next. And I said our goal, by July the 4th, is to have 70 percent of adult Americans with at least one shot and 160 million Americans fully vaccinated. And that's a pretty huge goal, I acknowledge that, but you've done a remarkable job. But if we succeed, we're going to be able to take a serious step toward a return to normalcy by Independence Day, which is a goal that was not arbitrarily, but based on talking to the docs— thought if we did what we'd had to do, we could meet. And there's a lot of work to do, though, to get there. But I believe we can get there. And part of the reason I'm so confident is because of—[laughter]—your leadership, the Governors, and your partnership with us. The Governors with us today and their counterparts have been instrumental in helping us make progress and—more quickly than anyone would have thought. Working together, we delivered over 220 million shots in my first 100 days—well beyond anyone's expectations, but because of their cooperation. And today, more than 150 million Americans have gotten at least one shot. Over 115 million Americans are fully vaccinated. Nearly 85 percent of people—excuse me—65 and over have gotten at least one shot. And whether it's a red State or a blue State, Black, White, Latino, AAPI—Americans from every walk of life are getting their vaccines. We got more to do though. Now, cases and hospitalizations and deaths are all down. Tens of thousands of moms and dads, brothers and sisters, grandparents, neighbors, friends are still with us who, I believe—would have otherwise—we would have lost but for the work of these Governors. And millions of Americans are starting to live life more normally after more than a year of sacrifice. And I know everybody is tired of hearing me say this online here, but it isn't Democratic progress or Republican progress, it's American progress. And now we've got to take the next step together. I know every week you meet with Jeff Zients, who's here with me, and he—you go through it. And I've had a chance to meet with the Governors' conference and others, but it's—we decided from the very beginning, as you all remember, that—how many govs did you speak with in the last—just today was the—— White House COVID–19 Response Coordinator Jeffrey D. Zients. Well, today we had our weekly call. The President. Yes, weekly. Coordinator Zients. So most Governors attend that call, which is great. The President. And—but the point is that we know we want to get something done. It's all about Governors and mayors and county executives. It's all local. It's on the street. 1 And to meet the goal that I set last week, we need to accomplish three things, in my view. One, we have to make it easier and more convenient for all Americans to get vaccinated. And you're busting your neck doing that. Two, to build confidence in vaccines by delivering facts and answering questions to anyone who might have one and have thorough answers. And three, by ensuring that we reach everyone with an equitable response that—as we enter this next phase. And to help us get there, we've added two new tools. One, Americans can go to vaccines.gov. Or they can text their ZIP Code to 3—excuse me, misspoke—their ZIP Code, text it to 438829. Let me say it again: 438829. And they'll get at least three locations near them with vaccines in stock at that moment. And at my direction, more than 20,000 pharmacies coast to coast are now offering walk-in vaccinations by no appointment necessary. And the Governors are—you all are stepping up to increase the availability of walk-in vaccinations as well. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA, is shifting focus from larger vaccination sites to smaller community-based sites and mobile clinics to reach more people where they are. And we've recently made significant new investments around vaccine education, including funds to help states and community organizations get the word out on the local level. Just yesterday the Food and Drug Administration expanded the emergency use author-— authorization for the Pfizer vaccine for children 12- to 15-years of age. Twelve to fifteen. That more parents—that means parents who want to protect their children, younger teens who want to get vaccinated—we're a step closer to that goal now. And today I'm also announcing additional steps. To ensure that transportation is less of a barrier, from May 24 through July 4, Uber and Lyft—Uber and Lyft—are both going to offer everyone free rides to and from vaccination sites. I think that is really stepping up. Both Uber and Lyft—free rides to—they'll wait—and from—they'll take you back home. And it makes it easy for students who will work with Federal pharmacy partners to bring on- campus vaccines sites to dozens of the Nation's largest community colleges this summer. And I want to thank the Governors here for making it easy as possible for students to get vaccinated. And finally, I'm announcing today that FEMA is making support available immediately for community vaccination outreach efforts. This will help States, Tribes, Territories, local governments, and community and faith-based organizations to make more progress on the ground: things like phone banking, door-to-door canvassing, pop-up vaccination sites at workplaces and houses of worship. And so, once again, Governors in so many states, particularly the six that are here, have been essential partners in this effort. And they know it isn't about politics; it's about saving lives and livelihoods, rebuilding our economy, and getting us back to our way of life. So it gets to have—so, you know, the idea that we have six of the best Governors who have worked on this with me today is really a pleasure. And all of you have done a remarkable job. And with your permission, I'd like to hear from you about the best practices and innovations that have worked for you, what you've learned across these three areas: on improving access, building confidence, and ensuring equity. And I would like to start by talking about improving access to vaccines. Governor Mills of Maine and Governor DeWine of Ohio, both of you have developed creative programs to meet people where they are. Governor Mills, if you don't mind, I like to ask you how are you reaching out to people and encouraging them to get vaccinated? And what kind of success are you having? 2 Governor Janet T. Mills of Maine. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you for all you're doing to help us get shots in arms. It's a great honor to join you and fellow Governors across the Nation to share these innovative ways that Maine is vaccinating people against COVID–19. Maine has had some of the lowest numbers of COVID–19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in the country since the onset of the pandemic. The people of our State believe in the science, and they have followed public health protocols to prevent the spread of the virus. Now we are closing in on the 70 percent of adults that you want us to close in on—70 percent of adults in Maine having received at least one dose of COVID–19 vaccine—the goal you set. Right now we're at 67 percent. The President. All right. Gov. Mills. And about 53 percent of all eligible people in Maine are fully vaccinated. [At this point, Gov. Mills continued her remarks, concluding as follows.] We're calling this "Your Shot To Get Outdoors." Oh, it's corny, I know. [Laughter] But we know that people in Maine have found refuge and relief in Mother Nature throughout the pandemic. So these incentives will encourage that outdoor activity while getting more shots in arms as quickly as possible. So thank you, Mr. President, for your support of—for all the States. Maine is doing everything we can to put this pandemic behind us. We're giving it our best shot. Thank you. [Laughter] The President. Well, Gov, thank you. Thank you. I think that it's remarkable what you're doing. [The President coughed.] And you know, I—excuse me. I—well, I'll get back. I want to hear from Mike first, then I want to ask you both a question, if I may. Mike, Gov. Fire away. Ohio. Governor Mike DeWine of Ohio. President—Mr. President, thank you for doing this. We appreciate you listening. I want to say hi to Jeff and tell him we appreciate his work and the fact that he listens.

  • Joint Statement on the Rise in Anti-Asian Hate
    March 26, 2021 Governors Issue Joint Statement on the Rise in Anti-Asian Hate “As governors, we take care in protecting the people of our states and territories. The tragic loss of loved ones in Atlanta that left eight people dead, including six Asian Americans, is part of a long and painful litany of acts of hate against Asian Americans across the country.” “Today, and every day, we stand in solidarity, in support, and in shared resolve with the Asian American community. Hate will not divide our states, territories, and communities. We condemn all expressions of racism, xenophobia, scapegoating, and anti-Asian sentiment.” “From the Chinese Exclusion Act to the incarceration of Japanese Americans in World War II to the mistreatment of Muslims and Sikhs after 9/11, this year is part of a history of racism against the Asian American community.” “In the past year, the use of anti-Asian rhetoric during the pandemic has resulted in Asian Americans being harassed, assaulted, and scapegoated for the COVID-19 pandemic. The Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University in San Bernardino released ndings in early March that showed hate crimes against Asian-Americans spiked 149% from 2019 to 2020, even while hate crimes fell overall.” “What is happening to Asian Americans is simply un-American. We condemn racism, violence, and hatred against our AAPI communities, and we must do more to protect, lift up, and support the Asian American community.” Signed, ___________________________________ ____________________________________

  • In the West, Opposing Natural Gas Is Tricky
    DIGITAL VERSION: WWW.LATIMES.COM/ENVIRONMENT/NEWSLETTER-BOILING-POINT THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2020 Mike Siegel TNS METHANE GAS is flared outside Monroe, Wash., in 2012. IN THE WEST, OPPOSING NATURAL GAS IS TRICKY By Sammy Roth his week, the Los Angeles Times published a story I’ve been working on for months. It’s about efforts by fossil fuel companies and their allies to claim the moral high ground by casting the industry as an ally of communities of color, T even as its products fuel a global crisis that disproportionately harms people who aren’t white. It’s a nuanced story that focuses on defenders of oil and gas, examining who funds them and scrutinizing their claims about fossil fuels being good for the pocketbooks of people of color. I took a hard look at groups including United Latinos Vote and Western States and Tribal Nations, and companies including Sempra Energy and Dominion Energy. I hope you’ll read the story and share it, and let me know what you think. As much information as we packed into the piece — which was probably a bit longer than my editors would have liked — there was plenty of stuff that didn’t make the final version, not because it wasn’t newsworthy but because it didn’t have to do with the question of how the fossil fuel economy affects people of color. Fortunately, I’ve also got this newsletter. So here are a few other things I learned in the course of my reporting, all dealing with natural gas and the energy transition in the Amer- ican West.
