Friend,
The first time my sister, Paloma, ever received health insurance was when she first got a job. But when she was part of pandemic layoffs, she was left without access to medical care — because she’s a DACA recipient.
Outrageously unaffordable private health insurance is the only option for Paloma and hundreds of thousands just like her.
Right now, DACA recipients are barred from accessing federally funded health insurance. But that could change soon:
After years of organizing by our movement, Biden announced a new rule that would finally allow DACA recipients to access health care through Medicaid and Affordable Care Act coverage.
While that’s great news for DACA recipients like my sister, the harsh truth is that there are millions more who could still end up in a position like she did because they don’t qualify for DACA.
That’s why UWDA is calling on Biden and Congress to expand a pathway to citizenship to include all 11 million. Will you donate now to support our fight for permanent protections and make sure all undocumented people can access affordable health care?

1/3 of all DACA recipients don’t have health insurance, along with millions more undocumented people who miss out on federally funded health coverage.
The impacts of this can be devastating: 🏥 many don’t seek out care and risk worsening their condition, 💰 or are forced to pay unaffordable medical bills when they do.
That’s why we were thrilled to learn Biden is allowing DACA recipients to soon take advantage of Medicaid and ACA coverage. But we know this doesn’t go far enough.
The new rule is a step in the right direction, but we won’t stop fighting until ALL immigrant youth and undocumented people — not just DACA recipients — can access the same affordable health insurance options.
Help us advance our goals for permanent protections for all by making a donation today. Your support will help us get one step closer to securing an inclusive, expansive pathway to citizenship.
