Help us protect access to health, nutrition & housing for immigrant families and
children!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
The Public Charge Rule the Biden administration published was a much
clearer and moderate framework for immigrant families to access non-cash
assistance programs like Medicaid and SNAP that help keep their children
healthy! This was a welcomed change and badly needed – not just because it
puts an end to an unfortunate chapter in our history during which a
heartless, anti-immigrant administration used public policies to
intimidate and punish immigrant families, but also because it makes clear
that neither use of health, nutrition and housing assistance nor benefits
used by a U.S. citizen child will not be considered in citizenship
applications of their family members.
Last month the Senate took a vote to revoke Biden’s Public Charge Rule and
soon the House will too! This attack on Biden’s Public Charge Rule is yet
another attack on immigrants and undermines immigrant children’s health.
Continued fear and confusion will keep parents from accessing the health
and nutrition programs their kids need!

Write a Letter to the Editor in support of child care!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SUBMITTED ->
[ [link removed] ]Submit Now
Will you write a letter to the editor (LTE) asking your lawmakers to act
on child care and support the Child Care for Working Families Act? (We’ve
got a handy dandy wizard tool that will help you!)
Letters to the editor are an incredibly powerful way to make sure our
elected leaders get the message–and know what their constituents care
about. Lawmakers are reading their local papers to get a sense of what
matters to people in their community.
If you’ve never written a letter to the editor, no problem! We’ve got a
pretty easy tool that will help—just copy, paste, and edit one of our
pre-drafted letters (or draft your own—we’ve provided talking points,
too!) and send it to your paper with a few clicks.

Georgia Police Use Intimidation Tactics in Arresting Cop City Bail Fund
Organizers

On May 31st, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested the organizers
of the Atlanta Solidarity fund on charges of charity fraud and money
laundering. The organization is a critical support in providing bail funds
to arrested Cop City protesters. These arrests are the latest in a slew of
intimidation tactics by Georgia police in efforts to deter the Cop City
protests in Atlanta. Georgia officials continue to ignore the voices of
community members who are advocating for investments in communities not
cops.

Tell Congress to address the youth mental health crisis!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
The mental health crisis among children and adolescents was exacerbated by
the COVID-19 pandemic, and it also highlighted the vulnerability of the
mental health safety net system. It’s absolutely clear that the need for
mental health screening, diagnostics, and evidence-based therapeutic
services for families and children from infancy through adolescence is
greater than ever. However, the United States was already failing to meet
these needs even before the pandemic, especially for youth of color. But
have no fear! There’s a way to change this issue so that our children’s
mental health has brighter futures.

health crisis!

Renewing Registry & supporting our nation’s immigrants is a no-brainer!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->

Did you know nearly 23 million immigrants have put their lives on the line
in essential roles since the start of the pandemic? And over 5 million are
undocumented. Immigrants took on vital roles that helped keep our children
and families healthy, and keep our child care, health care system, long
term care, food supply chain, and our economy running. Without their hard
work we wouldn’t be where we are now.
Currently, there’s a bill in the U.S. House that could help permanently
protect some of our nation’s immigrants and get us one step closer toward
rebuilding our nation’s care infrastructure. The Registry Bill would
update a law already in the books since 1929 and that’s been repeatedly
updated over the years!
[ [link removed] ]Sign on! We need bipartisan support, so please tell every member of
Congress to support the Registry Bill and permanent protections for our
frontline workers!
