“Hello, my name is ____________, I’m calling from [City]. Is this Rep/Sen_______ office?
I’m calling Rep/Sen_______ to urge them to advocate for the Special Session to address access to healthcare for immigrant communities. Currently immigrants in CT have limited to no access to healthcare, which is an emergency public health crisis during a pandemic. I support the state of CT to expand eligibility of the HUSKY Health Program to include all CT residents regardless of immigrant status. I urge Rep/Sen_______ to advocate on behalf of our undocumented community and do what they can do urge the Special Session to address access to healthcare for all immigrant communities. Will you please let them know this? Thank you.”
