Regardless of where we were born, we all deserve to be healthy and safe. But the Trump Administration has just proposed a new administrative rule that threatens the wellbeing of immigrant families. Over the weekend, the Administration issued the text of a new ‘public charge’ rule that, if enacted, would discourage immigrants and their families from asking for help from programs that improve access to health care, food, and other basic human needs. This rule will make Utah a less healthy, less safe and less welcoming place to live for all of us. We must protect Utah families and stop this proposed rule from becoming a permanent policy. Over the next several days and weeks, we will share opportunities to take action to protect our fellow Utahns’s health and safety. You will soon be able to add your voice to millions of others urging the Administration to withdraw this dangerous proposal.
What can you do now? Speak up! Spread the word, using the hashtag #ProtectFamilies! Together, we will demand humane immigration reform that protects our children and strengthens our communities.
