    • CLINIC Testimony Before the Maryland State Senate Finance Committee and House Health and Government Operations Committee

      Posted on February 15, 2023

      CLINIC, supports SB 365/HB 588, the Access to Care Act. Adoption of this legislation in Maryland is critical for the common good and social justice. Health care is not a commodity but a human right that should be afforded to every person. Health care access should not depend on an individual’s income, the type of job they have, where they live, their age, nationality, or any other factor. This bill helps migrants and our communities as a whole by preserving the stability of families, neighborhoods, and employers. The purpose of the bill is to ensure that everyone, regardless of immigration status, is allowed to access the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange.

We develop and sustain a network of nonprofit programs that serve over 500,000 immigrants every year. We cultivate projects that support and defend vulnerable immigrant populations by:

    • providing direct representation for asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border and educating them about their rights; 
    • reuniting formerly separated families;
    • increasing legal representation for those in removal proceedings and in detention;
    • providing public education on immigration law and policies; and
    • advocating for fair and just immigration policies that acknowledge the inherent dignity and value of all people.  

    History has taught us that people who step up can make a difference. We hope you will join us.
