Spread Vital Public Charge Information with Multilingual Immigrant Health Packet
Published on Jan 8, 2021 in CalFresh, Child Nutrition, Immigrants, School-Aged Children, Young Children
Not all immigrants are subject to public charge and most public nutrition programs are safe and open to all, regardless of immigration status.
Still, we know California immigrants avoid accessing CalFresh and similar supports for fear of negative immigration consequences. That's why the California Protecting Immigrant Families coalition (CA-PIF) created the Immigrant Health Community Packet: to help service providers, community organizers, and advocates inform immigrant communities about the types of programs/services available and how they relate to public charge.
The packet contains community-facing fliers, training slides, sample social media posts, and graphic versions of each flyer for easy sharing to Facebook and Instagram.
