A new Chapin Hall paper looks at the consequences of immigration enforcement on the children left behind. We appreciated the opportunity to contribute to this research. Policymakers must mitigate the harm and protect children in immigrant families. More: www.chapinhall.org/research/how....

Thanks, @kim.senate.gov, for your leadership on this important issue. Every child should be able to get the care they need, no matter how much their parents earn, where they were born, or where their parents were born.

We are moving in the WRONG direction when it comes to kids' healthcare coverage. MediKids would remove the cost burden on states and ensure that every kid has healthcare, no exceptions.

🌟 New SPARK Blog Post by Adriana Cadena, MPA, Executive Director of @pifcoalition.bsky.social 10 years ago, PIF fought back when the first Trump administration tried to deny green cards to immigrants who used basic safety net programs. We won that fight in court in 2021.

We recently had the opportunity to meet in person with leaders from PIF steering committee member organizations, including @clasp.org @centeronbudget.bsky.social @nlihc.org @justiceinaging.org @nilc.org and @nhelp.bsky.social. Thank you for your leadership!

The new public charge regulation is part of an all-out assault on immigrant families and the communities that welcome them. As our post for the Foundation for Child Development SPARK blog series details, there is a role for all of us to play in a unified response. www.fcd-us.org/an-all-out-a...

The Trump administration is lying to you about who really defrauds federal safety net programs. As our friends at @nilc.org and @clasp.org detail, that's exactly what the federal government itself reported. Read @jesswash.bsky.social's article in @theintercept.com . theintercept.com/2026/07/31/i...

The new Trump public charge regulation is more than 150 pages long, and our expert team worked hard to break down the most damaging changes into a one-page guide. Learn what’s changing and how: pifcoalition.org/resources/pr....
