3 of 4 productive mtgs done, the last two with staff from Elizabeth Warren and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley. Next up, NH Sen. Maggie Hassan from our neighbor North. My focus has been on language access and health care which is also important for #reproductiverights. #ssnconvening

And this has been on my mind all day too. #Immigrationpolicy that will be detrimental for those seeking refuge in MA and elsewhere. bostonglobe.com/2024/06/05/met…

The immigrant youth who fought for DACA over a decade ago are now: ▪️ teachers ▪️ lawyers ▪️ health care workers ▪️ social workers ▪️ business owners ▪️ and so much more We built our lives here, and we need a pathway to citizenship now. bit.ly/3KMLeJP

Given the good news from the White House regarding undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens, I recommend the work of Jane Lilly Lopez on this very topic. Stanford Press www-sup.stanford.edu/books/title/?i…

Here's my new Scholars Strategy Network (bsky: @scholars.org) policy brief re: how language matters for healthcare access. Language like #racializedlegalstatus affects enrollment and use of health services for those with limited English proficiency. scholars.org/contribution/w…

It should not be so hard to get the care we need with what we pay in this country. It's even harder without coverage, a good paying job, and time to make endless calls or MD visits. My Health Insurance Company Is Trying To Kill Me huffpost.com/entry/health-i…

It's bizarre but unsurprising how Brazil takes pol'l cues from the US. My 2015 Stanford Press book Race on the Move reveals similar parallels about race: Trumps of the Tropics: Brazil’s Far Right Plots Its Return nytimes.com/2024/08/01/mag…

After some R&R with family in Brazil, excited to unveil my newly redesigned website tiffanydjoseph.com! There's also a sneak peek at my forthcoming book Not All In with Hopkins Press ! Thanks to Nikki OrangeCustard for a marvelous job and OC for the recommendation!

Glad to have written a chapter with Meredith Van Natta promoting "A Bold Policy Agenda for Improving Immigrant Healthcare Access in the US". We need more positive headlines on immigrants and health care!

OMG, why is going to my MD appt like walking in a maze? Getting around the hospital shouldn't be so hard! It's harder if you have a bad sense of direction or English isn't your 1st language. This is another healthcare barrier I write about in my new Hopkins Press book.
