through the U.S. Congress right now, that we’re supporting and we think
you should too!

Tell Congress: Don’t cut Head Start!
Republican leadership in Congress is considering hurting families by
cutting funding for our country’s most successful early learning program,
Head Start. They want to cut Head Start by $750 million for the next
fiscal year, depriving roughly 80,000 children access to this critical
program!

Urge U.S. Secretary HHS Xavier Becerra to act to protect Medicaid coverage!

When the pandemic began in early 2020, Congress enacted several laws to
help people and states get through the public health and economic crises.
One law gave states additional federal Medicaid funding as long as they
kept people enrolled in Medicaid coverage during the COVID-19 public
health emergency (PHE). The nation’s uninsured rate declined to a historic
low of 7.7% in the first quarter of 2023, due in part to the continuous
enrollment provision in Medicaid.
Now that the public health emergency has officially ended, the requirement
that states provide continuous coverage has ended as well. Tragically,
millions of people are losing coverage because they do not realize they
need to reenroll or have been deterred by complicated paperwork and
administrative procedures imposed by many states.
While we are grateful to the Biden Administration for taking critical
steps during the pandemic to make sure people didn’t lose their insurance,
we must urge the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Xavier
Becerra to act again to protect Medicaid by providing more oversight of
the states.

P.S.– [ [link removed] ]Share your family’s immigration story with us (if you have one)
and we’ll put it in front of elected officials to help remind them of our
nation’s history! Or maybe you have an immigrant family member or friend
who is having a positive impact in your life and community! Your stories
will show our nation and policymakers how immigrants are critical to our
communities and build support for ensuring that immigrants have a path to
citizenship.
