Health Equity: The Medicaid Purge Hits Immigrant Families
PIF director Adriana Cadena’s letter in the Washington Post cites mounting evidence [[link removed]] that immigrant families have been hit hard by post-pandemic changes to Medicaid policy and practice. While Medicaid “unwinding” is ending, the letter explains why the fight for health equity is just beginning.

May 17: Election Year Advocacy Webinar
Join PIF and experts from Bolder Advocacy [[link removed]] for an exclusive webinar: Nonpartisan Advocacy: How 501(c)(3)s Can Educate and Advocate During Election Season. May 17, 1-2:30pm ET.
Though nonprofits must remain nonpartisan, they have a critical role to play throughout the election cycle! Not only can they engage in issue advocacy, but they can also conduct robust voter and candidate education campaigns and mobilize the public to get out the vote. After this session, you will have a better understanding of how to safely engage in nonpartisan advocacy during an election.
Participants will learn:
*
How
you
can
continue
to
advocate
for
your
issues
during
election
years;
*
How
you
can
educate
the
public
through
candidate
forums
and
questionnaires;
*
How
you
can
respond
to
candidate
statements
objectively;
*
How
you
can
conduct
nonpartisan
voter
registration
and
ensure
get-out-the-vote
efforts
are
conducted
legally;
*
How
you
can
safely
support
or
oppose
ballot
measures
without
being
partisan;
and
*
How
staff
and
volunteers’
partisan
activities
in
their
personal
time
can
be
kept
separate
from
their
activities
on
behalf
of
the
organization.
This session complements The Rules of the Game: A Guide to Election-Related Activities for 501(c)(3) Organizations [[link removed]] .

Education: Join the Education for All Campaign
The National Immigration Law Center is launching a new campaign in defense of every child’s right to learn. The radical right has launched a new attack on the landmark Plyler v. Doe ruling that guarantees free public education for all children, regardless of immigration status. The Education for All Campaign (E4A) is building a broad, deep, and powerful movement to defend that basic right.

Healthcare: DACA Health Care Proposal Anniversary
The Biden Administration proposed expanding Affordable Care Act marketplace access for 130,000 people with DACA one year ago next week. More than 400 partners signed onto a PIF-organized comment [[link removed]] supporting the proposal last June. We continue to monitor the regulatory process in hopes that the Administration will issue a final regulation this year.
Advocacy: Urge Congress to Fund Programs that Matter for Immigrant Families
The congressional funding debate is in full swing, and the bill that funds the U.S. Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education includes programs that matter for immigrant families – from enforcement against Civil Rights violations in schools and workplaces to health equity and the Office of Refugee Resettlement. Our partners at the Coalition on Human Needs are co-leading an organizational sign-on letter urging Congress to allocate a responsible budget allocation for the bill that funds these critical programs [[link removed]] . Deadline to sign is Friday, April 26 .
