In case you missed it, you have to check this out:

During a House committee hearing a couple of weeks ago, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA), Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX), Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-MO), and other House Democrats boldly stood up for DACA recipients and their fundamental human right to have health care.

A little bit of context: In April, the Biden administration announced its plans to expand health coverage for DACA recipients, finally allowing them access to affordable health care through Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplaces. This is a major victory, following years of advocacy.

In the hearing, Republicans cruelly targeted DACA recipients, by pushing to deny them access to health care — while Democrats, led by ranking Democrat Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), affirmed that affordable health care is a right for every person in this country, including immigrant youth.

So, we’re coming together to say ‘thank you’ to the House Democrats who took a stand for DACA recipients during this hearing. Friend, will you help us thank them by adding your name to our note of appreciation?

Sincerely,
