Call for submissions! "Pushing Back: Opposition Against Unjust Immigration Policy & Enforcement" >>
The current implementation of immigration policy and enforcement mechanisms in the US denies immigrants and migrant people basic human rights. HERE4Justice is organizing to protect the rights of migrant people in the US. This social injustice has health equity implications which the public health community and everyone should push back against.
“[More] people are likely to go into hiding, pulling children out of school, not reporting crimes, and not seeking medical care, even for children.” –Human Rights Watch
“We’re hearing of pregnant immigrant women having to skip prenatal exams, afraid to go to church or to the store to pick up healthy foods, vitamins and prescription medicines.” –MomsRising.
HERE4Justice is working to further raise awareness of this issue and organizing in solidarity with migrant people.
