friend, I’m excited to share some good news! State
advocates and policymakers across the country are adopting policies that improve
the health and well-being of immigrants, their families, and entire communities.

Today, we are shining the spotlight on Minnesota: After decades of organizing,
immigrants and allies secured several inclusive laws, including:

* Driver’s Licenses: HF 4, signed in March, will allow eligible Minnesotans to obtain driver's
licenses, regardless of their immigration status, effective October 1, 2023.
* Health Care: SF 2995, enacted in May, will provide public health coverage under
MinnesotaCare to adults and children who are undocumented, in January 2025.
* Higher Education: HF 2073, signed in May, establishes North Star Promise scholarships to cover
tuition and fees at public universities and state colleges in Minnesota for
eligible students of any immigration status.

Friend — these state laws are critical in building a more
inclusive and welcoming nation. Congress should take note of the growing support for these measures by enacting
pro-immigrant laws at the federal level.

This is just a sneak peek. Stay tuned as we share more of the state and national
victories, as we work collectively to make enduring change at all levels of
government.

Sincerely,

Tanya Broder
