Friend, remember the last time you felt under the weather? 🤒
Getting sick is already the most draining feeling on Earth. 🤧No one should have to worry about healthcare access on top of that. Unfortunately, for far too long, immigrant and undocumented families in the U.S have faced challenges accessing health services. Today, more than a quarter of DACA recipients are uninsured, making access to medicine & doctor appointments impossible for many. Can DACA recipients count on you to break down those barriers?
For the FIRST time in 11 years, we could eliminate those disparities. The Biden administration proposed a new rule that could expand access to public healthcare programs, like Medicaid and the Affordable Care, to DACA recipients. For hundreds of thousands of DACA recipients like myself, this would mean no longer having to avoid going to the doctor or viewing job termination as a threat to our healthcare coverage.
ADD YOUR NAME!
You’re right: this is not enough. President Biden said it himself, “It’s past time for Congress to give Dreamers a pathway to citizenship.” We’re in this fight because we want permanent protections for ALL. But, we can’t guarantee a victory for our communities if we don’t first have the resources to take care of our physical & mental wellness. Let’s take a step towards our ultimate goal by making it clear that we are here to stay. Click here to expand healthcare eligibility for DACA recipients.
Thank you for everything that you do for your community!
