At the very outset of the pandemic, Speaker Pelosi engaged San Francisco Faith leaders in an important conference call. She offered her personal reflections on the impact of the pandemic, as well as reported on legislation that was being initiated in the Congress to offer economic relief to those who had lost their jobs and were at risk of housing, healthcare and food insecurity. That conference call initiated the format for the San Francisco Interfaith Council's weekly "Online Briefings for Faith Leaders," supported by the COVID Command Center's Joint Information Virtual Outreach Team. We are grateful to Speaker Pelosi for her leadership and for taking the time to join us for this special briefing.
