Immigration Justice Action Guide and Talking Points
In the face of increased state violence through immigration enforcement and militarized response to protest, public health must organize and act. We created two new resources to support public health workers in protecting immigrant rights and promoting immigration justice.
In 2017, at the start of the first Trump Administration, Public Health Awakened created the "Public Health Actions for Immigrant Rights Guide" to respond to the moment. This new resources from Health in Partnership (our parent org) is an update to that guide, responding to our current context in 2025.
See below for the 2017 resource.
