Healthy Solutions for America's Hardworking Families: Press Conference Photographs

    On July 12, 2001, supporters and sponsors of immigrant benefits restorations held a Capitol Hill briefing and lobby day in support of "Healthy Solutions for America's Hardworking Families."
    "Healthy Solutions for America's Hardworking Families" seeks to address critical gaps for immigrants in the safety net -- the denial of food stamps to many qualified immigrant families; the denial of federal health care coverage to certain lawfully present children and pregnant women; and the denial of services needed to allow domestic violence victims to recover from the abuse they have suffered.

    Here are some photos from the briefing on Capitol Hill:
