The first few days of the Trump administration have been tough—and sadly, not unexpected. As we’ve heard his plans for aggressive immigration policies aimed at criminalizing and demonizing immigrants, one thing remains clear: our strength lies in our community. In these challenging times, it’s important to remember: you are not alone. Together, we can stand strong, resilient, and united in defending the dignity and contributions of immigrants in our communities. To help navigate this period of uncertainty, we’ve gathered partner resources to provide you and people in your community with vital information and advocacy tools. Note that these resources are a starting place for information and not legal advice. Please continue to check back as these resources are updated and consult an immigration attorney for specific situations. Explore these materials, share them widely, and remember: knowledge is power, and we’re in this together every step of the way.

As parents, there’s nothing more important than our children and family’s health. From routine physicals, to a common cold, to a devastating diagnosis—we safeguard our children and family the absolute best we can. We should expect the same from our leaders! Donald Trump’s nomination for Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (a.k.a. RFK Jr.), is grossly unqualified and a dangerous pick to be put in charge of safeguarding our nation’s health and must be stopped!
