Dear John,

In this week’s newsletter:

Health: HHS Language Access Know-Your-Rights Flyers

The Office of Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) created flyers to help people who don’t speak or read English assert their language access rights and get the care they need. Flyers are available in 18 languages, plus English. They don’t seem to be linked on the HHS website yet, so we’ve compiled them for now. Please use and share these flyers and encourage your networks to do the same.

Health: DACA Open Enrollment Resources

Affordable Care Act open enrollment begins on Friday, and for the first time since the ACA’s enactment, people with DACA are eligible. An estimated 100,000 people could get coverage under the new policy, but only if they know about it. We’ve added some social media samples to our partner toolkit, which you can use to help spread the word. And please include the #ProtectFamilies tag where you can, to make it easier for PIF partners to amplify your posts.
