Two NETWORK Issue Areas You Especially Care About: Healthcare and immigration
Why are you serving with Y.A.L.L.?: As an immigrant, I recognize the importance of fair and humane immigration policies. Everyone, regardless of their status, deserves dignity and opportunity. Moreover, as a healthcare professional, I firmly believe in the fundamental right to access proper healthcare for all individuals. No one should be denied essential medical services based on their immigration status, working class, race, gender, or religious affiliation. Thus, advocating for equitable healthcare access and immigration reform is not just a matter of policy, but a reflection of our shared humanity and commitment to justice.
