Deadline Extended: Congressional Review Act Resolution Letter Closing 6/12 + New DACA Letter

We’re extending the deadline for signatures on our organizational sign-on letter opposing a congressional resolution to reverse the Biden public charge regulation. We have more time than expected before the U.S. House of Representatives acts on the resolution, and we’re seizing the opportunity to build even more opposition to this attack on immigrant families. The new deadline is June 12.

We have two other active sign-on letters right now. There is an opportunity to continue to support the LIFT the BAR Act – legislation that would improve safety net access for immigrant families. The other sign-on letter supports a proposed HHS regulation that would improve health care access for nearly 130,000 people with DACA. Please use the button below to learn more and sign-on your organization today!

Thawing the Chill: Texas Partners Deliver HHS Public Charge Videos

PIF partners Every Texan, CDF-Texas, and Houston Immigration Legal Services Collaborative worked with the HHS Region 6 office to produce videos offering assurances that using safety net programs or maintaining Medicaid coverage won’t affect immigration status:

  • Safety net programs (English)
  • Safety net programs (Spanish)
  • Medicaid “unwinding” (English)
  • Medicaid “unwinding” (Spanish)

 

If you’d like to encourage federal agencies serving your community to release similar messages, please contact Alicia Wilson on the PIF team.
