Since its passage in 2010, the ACA has greatly increased access to affordable health care for SEAAs and reduced the number of SEAAs withouth health insurance. We must keep building on these successes.

“I began taking oral contraceptives in 2002. I spent roughly $1,440 on oral contraception, at least $160 on well-woman visit co-pays, and the cost of the HPV vaccinne (which was strongly recommended) from the age of 14. My mother, sister, and I have been able to access well-woman visits free of charge since ACA, which also covered birth control for myself and my sister.”

All communities deserve safety, dignity, and the freedom to live without fear. The violence, chaos, and death that ICE are bringing to neighborhoods and cities across the country must end. In just weeks, ICE actions in Minnesota have led to fatal shootings and widespread fear as agents carry out raids, racial profiling, and brutality in our streets. Our loved ones are being terrorized and harmed. Congress must bring accountability to the Department of Homeland Security and put a stop to the violence. Tell your Senator to reject any bill that funds ICE at bit.ly/rejectICEfunding.
