** Coming Soon: Final Public Charge Rule
------------------------------------------------------------
It’s not time to celebrate yet, but we’re getting excited because the Biden administration has committed to finalizing new public charge regulations before the end of August. The issuance of new public charge regulations is a huge win for PIF partners who have fought for years for a more inclusive, less dangerous public charge policy.
The publication of a Biden public charge final rule is also an opportunity to get critical information to immigrant families. PIF’s rapid response plan includes media, digital, and partner engagement elements, informed by input from the coalition’s working groups. We may have a few days’ notice before the regulation is finalized. We’ll keep you in the loop and welcome questions anytime. Meanwhile, here are three things you can do to prepare:
1. Sign up for a PIF working group. From the regulatory analysis to the social media samples, most of our rapid response is developed and implemented through our working groups, so if you haven’t yet done so, joining the ones that interest you is the best way to stay in the loop.
2. Help your network get ready. A heads-up to your network of partner organizations and public officials will help them to prepare for the release of the final regulation.
3. Update your press list. News media can be an effective way to reach immigrant families. PIF will share pitches, statements, and other media outreach samples once we know what’s in the final regulation, but you can take this opportunity to make sure your press list is ready when the time comes.
** Exciting Website Update
------------------------------------------------------------
We are so excited to share that our new website has just launched! The new site features an easier way to find relevant resources, clear ways to support immigrants’ access to benefits, and a list of all of our partners.

Last week, we partnered with MomsRising for a Twitter tweetchat to generate awareness of and support for the LIFT the BAR Act. We discussed different ways to improve immigrant families' access to the health and social services safety net and the general importance of the LIFT the BAR Act. Did you miss the conversation?
