Dear John, 

In this week’s newsletter:

• Resource: Media Interview Negotiation Guide

• Analysis: Which States Expanded Access for Immigrant Families in 2023

We are excited to roll out a new resource today: a guidebook to negotiating with journalists on behalf of families you work with.

News coverage can generate much-needed public and policymaker attention for issues that matter to immigrant families. But organizations that work with families are often reluctant because they do not have confidence that journalists will approach the interview in a way that protects the interests of the families they serve.

That’s why PIF’s Communications Working Group and Community Education Working Group partnered to develop an interview negotiation guide. From the roles of spokesperson and journalist to the basics of family spokesperson prep, Finding Common Ground offers field-tested tips for partners who want to help the families they serve raise their voices and shape the public conversation about issues that matter.

PIF Partners Public Charge Toolkit

We are highlighting a useful new analysis from the National Immigration Law Center, which shows that more than half the states adopted policies last year that expanded access to economic opportunity or critical services for immigrants and their families. The analysis includes expanded access to driver’s licenses and professional licenses, workers’ rights, consumer privacy, and legal representation, as well as health care, nutrition, and other health or social services.
