Immigrants Face Another Potential Attack
Advocates are gearing up to push back, on the proposed "public charge" rule from the Trump Administration that would put immigration status at risk if an immigrant or their family -- including U.S. citizen children and other dependents -- seeks access to an array of programs that support health, nutrition, and economic stability.
Justice in Aging has updated factsheets, info to help craft comments on the proposed rule and a webinar for advocates on November 14 from 10:00 to 11:00. Come view the webinar in our office and take time to understand the harm this rule would pose to older adults, their families, and caregivers.
