Our immigrant worker rights team learned new skills & connected with fellow advocates at the National Farmworker Law Conference! MIRC's Gonzalo Peralta joined @CDMigrante & Farmworker Legal Services of Michigan in sharing about our successful litigation on behalf of workers. 🙌🏽

The support we receive from our community partners is phenomenal and truly keeps us going! 💕 Many thanks to Sara Camilleri of @sandrivertherapy for sharing these sweet treats with our Ypsilanti team to say "thank you" on #LoveYourLawyerDay! ⚖

ICYMI, our client Azizullah was detained and feared the worst: “I was thinking, if they arrest me and send me back to Afghanistan, maybe I [will] lose my life.”
MIRC filed a habeas corpus petition and Azizullah was released on the lowest possible bond.

“People with limited English proficiency need to know when a tornado’s coming. They need to know if there’s a flood watch. They need to know if air quality is poor in the same way that every other resident needs to know that information.” #languageaccess

This Día de los Muertos we remember and honor 2 shining lights.🕯️Former MIRC staff member Eva Alvarez, proud daughter of farmworkers, was delighted to meet Dolores Huerta - tireless advocate for workers, immigrants, women, racial justice. Their lives inform & inspire our work.🏵️

Yesterday was bittersweet. With the loss of federal funding for kids legal services, we had to say goodbye to some dear colleagues.
While every day working for immigrant rights is scary, our team was fearless. We’re glad we had the chance to work together & wish them the best!

When federal lawyers represent both kids & ICE:
“...it is now hard to imagine how there’s going to be true independence … or if the nature of being in the federal government will create a lot of barriers to representation.”

Las nuevas reglas cambiaron la elegibilidad de Medicaid según el estatus migratorio, pero muchas personas y familias siguen calificando para la cobertura completa. MDHHS necesita información actualizada de su parte para asegurarse de que la decisión sobre su Medicaid sea correcta

[MIRC @Michimmigrant]

New rules changed Medicaid eligibility based on immigration status, but many individuals and families remain qualified for full coverage. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) needs updated information from you to ensure your Medicaid decision is correct.
