  • Program 2 [2020]

    Civic Engagement: As the COVID-19 pandemic started to take its toll on the health of our tribal communities, the isolation started to take a toll on the mental andemotional health as well. WNV struggled to find a way to do Census and voter registration outreach due to stay at home orders and health risks. The virtual comedy show was created to bring healing and laughter to our suffering communities while getting our message out about the 2020 Census, voter registration, and COVID-19 safety. During 2020, 13 virtual shows were held using 42 entertainers. 143,400 people were engaged through these shows.
