[12] “This proposed rule is a cruel, senseless, counterproductive attack on immigrant children, the moms and families who love and care for them, and the communities that benefit from the hard work and many contributions those families provide.” Xochitl Oseguera of @momsrising.org

[11] “These changes will harm children’s well being, undermine public health, and push families back into the shadows at the very moment when stable access to care and support is most critical.” Liza Davis of @kidspartnership.bsky.social

[10] “We have seen how this policy causes harm to families, spreading confusion and fear in immigrant communities. As a result, children—a majority of whom are U.S. citizens—will end up losing access to basic services like health care and food assistance.” Angel Padilla of @nwlc.org

[9]“DHS openly acknowledges that this rule is designed to drive families—including U.S. citizen children—off health care, food assistance, and housing programs. In no version of the U.S. that values children could such a policy ever be justified.” @brucelesley.bsky.social of @firstfocus.bsky.social

[8] “The admin’s proposed public charge rules change is another example of the harm caused by their mass deportation & anti-immigrant policies. Access to health care & related essential services—especially for children—should be a fundamental right.” Mel Wilson of @sciencewriters.org

[7] “This proposed change is meant to scare immigrant families, including Asian Americans and other immigrants of color, leaving them without medical care when sick, food on the table, and other fundamental services.” Martin Kim of @aaaj-aajc.bsky.social

[6] “Let's be clear about this: intimidating the children and spouses of immigrants to keep them from accessing essential resources like nutrition assistance and health insurance means taking food out of children's mouths.” Trudy Taylor Smith of @cdf1973.bsky.social

[5] “This proposed rule ignores science and will inflict demonstrable harm to children’s health and development, affecting our country now and well into our future.” Stephanie Ettinger de Cuba of @childrenshw.bsky.social

[4] “As advocates for kids, we will do everything in our power to put a stop to this proposal and ensure that providers and families have access to accurate information.” @wendydcervantes.bsky.social of @clasp.org [2/2]

[3] “The chilling effect will be widespread, with families reluctant to enroll their kids in services for which they qualify that support their education, well-being, & healthy development, out of fear that it will be used against them when applying for a green card. [1/2]

[2] We are deeply concerned about the harmful impacts the proposed rule will have on children of immigrants, the majority of whom are U.S. citizens. We condemn the Trump Administration’s continuous efforts to destabilize immigrant families.

[2] But we’re meeting this disaster head-on. Instead of standing by, we’re continuing to rise for our families, our economy, and our children’s futures.

We must put pressure on Congress to reverse course and save our health care! #ProtectMedicaid

[2] These children, the majority of whom were born in the United States, are suffering severe physical and emotional harm, with many fearful of going to school.

Tearing apart families and traumatizing children does not make our country great. The time for change is now!
