Feels Like 1,000 Days: PIF Webinar on Trump Actions in His First 100 Days

 

Thursday, May 1, 2:30-3:45 PM ET / 11:30 AM - 12:45PM PT

 

The Trump administration has taken unprecedented actions to harm people in immigrant families in the first hundred days. In addition to enforcement actions and status restrictions, the administration has attempted to limit access to health care, food, housing and other programs for immigrants. They’ve also impeded people’s ability to pay taxes and contribute to our economic growth.

 

On the webinar, we will share policy changes and threats and help you to understand key themes of the administration’s actions. And, of course, we’ll take partners’ questions. Speakers include:

    • Marie Claire Tran Leung, National Housing Law Project
    • Salaam Bahti, Food Research & Action Center
    • Laura MacLeery, UnidosUS
    • Adriana Cadena and Sonya Schwartz, Protecting Immigrant Families Coalition
