New Threat: Take Action to Protect Immigrant Families
Dear John,
PIF is coordinating three sign-on letters over the next few weeks, offering partners and allies opportunities to raise their voices on critical issues affecting immigrant families. While it is unusual for us to be coordinating multiple sign-on letters, we face a unique range of threats and opportunities right now. Many of you have already signed on to our LTBA letter (check here [[link removed]] to see if your organization has signed on, click here to sign on today), and we appreciate your leadership. Our current sign-on letters focus on:
1. 1.
Defending
the
Biden
public
charge
regulations
from
a
partisan
attack
in
Congress
[[link removed]]
2.
Repealing
the
arbitrary,
racist,
and
dangerous
“5
Year
Bar”
that
denies
safety
net
access
to
millions
in
immigrant
families
3.
Proactive
Advocacy:
Expanding
health
care
access
for
people
with
DACA
and
their
families


These letters represent an opportunity to unite the immigrant rights and health and human services fields in defense of shared priorities. We encourage all partners and allies to sign on.

Webinar: Breaking Down Health Care Access Barriers
Everyone deserves the tools they need to be healthy and well — regardless of their immigration status. Yet many immigrants face barriers to health care they need and are eligible to receive.
Community Catalyst and the Protecting Immigrant Families Coalition (PIF) invite you to join us and our partners on Thursday, May 25th at 3pm ET for a conversation about breaking down barriers that make it difficult for immigrant communities to enroll in health coverage. This call will bring together immigrant rights and health equity advocates working to enroll eligible Latine communities, who are well poised to break down barriers and offer much-needed partnership to immigrant communities.

Thank You: 700+ Organizations Tell Congress to Avoid Harmful Budget Cuts
PIF partners joined a recent Coalition of Human Needs sign-on letter asking Congress to “reject efforts to take away assistance from people with low incomes or impose administrative barriers that make it harder for people to access needed assistance.” Given recent proposals to cut spending on vital economic supports, the letter calls on Congress to reject these efforts and instead focus on supporting and uplifting those who need it most. We thank partners who joined this effort to protect the safety net.
