Partner Convening: Grassroots and Community Organizing
As part of our efforts to prepare for the outcome of the upcoming election, we recently convened grassroots and community organizing partner organizations. Partners offered their perspectives on potential election outcomes and sketched out strategies that align with their priorities and capacities. We thank the partners who shared their time, experience, and strategic thinking, and we will use their guidance to inform the development of PIF’s post-election strategy. And we especially thank the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights for hosting and the Foundation for Child Development for sponsoring the event.

Housing: State Policy Working Group Meeting Thursday
We moved our October meeting of the State Policy Working Group to Thursday, for a special presentation by Kate Walz of the National Housing Law Project and Christina Pope of Welcoming America. Kate and Christina will provide an overview of the federal and state policy landscape on housing eligibility for immigrants and their families and take questions from participating partners.

Health: DACA Lawsuit Storybanking
New regulations make people with DACA eligible for health care under the ACA, but Republican attorneys general have sued to block the new policy. Our partners at Families USA are gathering personal stories to anchor a legal brief opposing that litigation and defending health care access. They are focused on:
*
The
barriers
DACA
recipients
face
when
trying
to
access
health
care
*
The
challenges
of
living
with
chronic
health
conditions
without
coverage
*
Why
consistent
and
reliable
health
care
is
vital
for
DACA
recipients
and
their
families
If you or someone you know can help, please share the link below with them and encourage them to share their story by Friday, October 25 .

Voting: East Bay Sanctuary Covenant GOTV Toolkit
Our partners at East Bay Sanctuary Covenant have launched a get out the vote campaign aimed at encouraging immigrant families to get involved in November’s election. The campaign is anchored by a great video [[link removed]] featuring four personal stories told by immigrants taking action in different ways. Use the toolkit below to help spread the word and encourage immigrant families to take charge of their own futures.

Advocacy: Support the Keeping Families Together Parole In Place Process
Our friends at American Families United [[link removed]] are circulating two opportunities to support the Keeping Families Together Parole In Place Process [[link removed]] . One is an opportunity for organizations to endorse the process. Another is an opportunity for members of Congress to engage, by signing on to a congressional support letter [[link removed]] coordinated by Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-CA-44). Interested congressional offices can use the link below to sign on. Please note that the sign-on link will only work for congressional offices using Congress’ Quill application. Deadline for both is Tuesday, October 29 .
