Food: New Resources on Food Programs and Immigrants’ Rights
We worked with partners Food Research & Action Center and Feeding America to develop a suite of new materials designed to help PIF partners connect the families they serve with SNAP, WIC, and other food programs for which they may qualify. Resources are available in 8 languages plus English and include a flyer, graphics, social samples, and other materials. These toolkits are available in versions you can use as-is or by adding your organization’s branding alongside the PIF logo.
These new materials are a focus of Thursday’s webinar: All You Can Eat: Developments in Immigrant Access to Food Programs . The webinar features presentations by the Food Research and Action Center, Share Our Strength / No Kid Hungry, Feeding America, and PIF. Learn more and Join us May 23 at 2:00pm EDT / 11:00am PDT [[link removed]] .

Congress: Anti-Immigrant Bill on Senate Floor This Week
News reports indicate Senate Democrats are likely to force a floor vote this week on legislation that would sharply restrict asylum and ramp up border militarization. Senate Republicans defeated the bill [[link removed]] earlier this year, after former president Donald Trump announced his opposition. Republicans have continued to hammer Democrats on immigration since then, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is forcing this vote despite the opposition of more than 100 nonprofits [[link removed]] , including a number of PIF members. While the bill is not expected to pass, any vote in favor of this sharp restriction poses a danger, and we join our members in urging you to ask your senators to oppose it.

Health: New Analysis of Health Coverage by Race / Ethnicity
The nation’s uninsured rate is 9%, but that single number obscures a much more complex reality for persons of color. A new analysis by PIF partner Center on Budget and Policy Priorities takes a deep dive into the wide variance in health coverage for Latine and AAPI people. The analysis also looks at immigration-related policies – from the five-year bar [[link removed]] to employment restrictions – that contribute to higher uninsured rates among some persons of color.
