This included weekly briefings of 60 community based organizations. The campaign expanded the number of states it works in from 19 to 24. The campaign convened weekly educational calls with advocates that covered the federal transit policy, the state of play on transit issues & the implementation of the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act & the Inflation Reduction Act. The campaign also generated national sign on letters, generated thousands of Green House Gas comments during rule making, organized grassroots activists to brief the Tri-caucus on the importance of funding transit, organized meetings of local groups with their Congressional delegation to drive support for legislation. The campaign set a clear goal to increase federal funding for public transit & to reverse Congress's resistance to funding operations to expand public transit service & ensure more racially equitable, economically robust, & environmentally friendly communities. Over the last 18-month long campaign, we achieved many of our goals: 1) President Biden's 'Build Back Better Act' included $10 million in new funding for transit operations. And the Appropriations bill included $13 billion for public transit. (Dec 2021), 2) American Rescue Plan included $30.5 billion to save public transit facing an unprecedented crisis from COVID-19. (March 2022), 3) Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act, which included $39.2 billion for public transit, represented the largest-ever federal investment in public transit. (Nov 2022), and 4) Inflation Reduction Act, which funded electrification & a new Neighborhood Access & Equity Grant Program ($3.2 billion) supported neighborhood equity, safety & affordable transportation access. 126954 0 0 NATIVE ORGANIZERS ALLIANCE ACTION FUND advocates & supports grassroots-driven social change rooted in Native traditional practices & values to advance sovereignty & the health & well-being of rural & urban Native communities & reservations across Indian Country.

The Executive Director thought someone else was filing the extension, and the other person thought the Executive Director was filing the extension. In the end, the 990 extension was not filed and this caused the 990 to be filed late. Upon realizing this error, the organization worked quickly to engage with a new accountant and get the 990 filed. The organization will be working with this new accountant going forward and they will ensure the 990, and any extensions, are always filed on time. Normal business care and prudence were followed. Therefore, the organization is requesting full abatement of any late filing penalties & fees.
