Tell Congress: Restore Safety Net Access to Benefits for Lawfully Present Immigrants

The racist 1996 welfare law’s “five-year bar” has denied millions in immigrant families of color the healthcare, food, and housing every family needs to thrive. New legislation sponsored by Rep. Pramila Jayapal — the LIFT the BAR Act — would lift the five-year bar and restore safety net access for lawfully-present immigrants and their families. Join the fight for immigrant families and tell your representatives in Congress to LIFT the BAR before adjourning this year.
