🎓These changes will cause disruptions to vital programs that directly help underserved AANHPI students stay in school, & receive targeted support services. Families are already struggling to make ends meet - rolling back these programs will make it even harder for AAPI students to succeed.

🚌This week, without Congressional action, the Department of Education moved major programs to other agencies-part of the Administration’s ongoing efforts to dismantle the DOE. This is a clear message that the federal government will no longer ensure every student has an equal opportunity to thrive.

As the House of Representatives heads to vote on a deal to reopen government, we are sharing this primer on SNAP-which remains in limbo for millions of families across the country. This is one of the most important federal programs designed to fight hunger & poverty; 2 million+ AANHPIs rely on SNAP.

🏥Unfortunately, this bill does NOTHING to fix healthcare subsidies for the millions of Americans who rely on the Affordable Care Act marketplace for healthcare - including 1.5 million AAPIs.

🕷️The nightmare didn’t end on Halloween.
Open Enrollment started Nov 1, so without renewal of healthcare subsidies, millions face higher premiums.
🍎November SNAP $$ were not released, leaving 1.2 million+ AAPIs with no groceries, and many with no other income. With rising costs, this hurts even more.

🩺In July, Republicans in Congress took #healthcare away from 4.5 million #AAPIs when they gut Medicaid to fund tax cuts for corporations & billionaires.
🔮 This fall, 1.5 million AAPIs will see premiums skyrocket because Congressional Republicans refuse to include tax subsidies in a budget deal.

This hits particularly close to home within the NCAPA family, and we want everyone to be aware.
Yaa’kub Ira Vijandre, or Jacob, came to the United States with his father at age 14 and later gained legal residency through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
