On Monday, August 3, 2026, Northwest Health Law Advocates joined SEIU 775, Economic Opportunity Institute, and other No Cuts to Health Care Coalition partners for a roundtable with with Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal. Also joining were State Senator Manka Dhingra, Secretary of Washington Department of Social and Health Services Angela Ramirez, and impacted individuals and organizations including Washington State Hospital Association and Neighborhood House, immigrant caregivers and clients.
Thank you to SEIU 775 and the impacted caregivers, community, and family members who spoke truth to power at yesterday’s event. When Trump and Republicans passed their Big Bad Betrayal, they stripped healthcare from millions of people in this country – and also specifically targeted immigrant communities. The No Cuts to Healthcare Coalition is bringing voices together from across our community to show just how devastating this will be in Seattle and nationwide.
I am grateful to have state and local partners who are fighting to protect the most vulnerable in our communities – and in Congress, I will be standing strong to demand a reversal to these cuts that are devastating families. We have the money to take care of all people, as evidenced by the billions of dollars Republicans are greenlighting for Trump’s war of choice in Iran. It is time we actually invest at home to save lives.
