Dear John,
We’ve got a packed newsletter this week, including bilingual vaccine outreach training, recommendations on child immigrant labor, and an opportunity to honor friend and advocate Eva Alvarez. Read more below.
Training: Vaccine outreach in Immigrant Communities
We are excited to partner with PIF member Clinica Romero [[link removed]] for a free health promoters training on COVID and flu vaccine outreach. Participants will work with seasoned promoters and a member of the PIF team, exploring strategies to address immigration-related vaccination concerns, as well as field-tested approaches to encourage immigrant families to get vaccinated. Participants will receive a certificate of completion. These interactive workshops are available in Spanish and English. Click the buttons below to register for either or both. [[link removed]]

Resource: Protect Children from Labor Exploitation
PIF partners Kids in Need of Defense [[link removed]] shared 5 policy recommendations on immigrant child labor exploitation in the wake of a recent New York Times exposé [[link removed]] .

Research: Visualizing Trends for Children of Immigrants
Our partners at the Urban Institute [[link removed]] created an interactive map that presents data and trends over time on children of immigrants and their parents, families, and households for states and the top 100 metropolitan areas.

Honoring a Friend: Remembering Eva Alvarez
A few weeks ago, we shared news of the tragic passing of Eva Alvarez, a leading voice for immigrant families at PIF partner Michigan Immigrant Rights Center (MIRC). The Michigan Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (MCIRR) has decided to use their upcoming quarterly meeting as a virtual space to remember Eva. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to share their memories and reflections about Eva and her legacy.
