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.
Share PIF’s COVID vaccine video
PIF partnered with nonprofits that work directly with immigrant families to develop this short video aimed at lowering barriers to COVID-19 vaccination. Help us spread the word, using this toolkit to reach immigrant families.
