Urgent Legislative Updates: Protecting Our Urban Native Community


BY UAII

Recent federal actions threaten the well-being of urban Native communities, impacting healthcare access, immigration enforcement, and critical funding for essential programs. Heightened immigration policies put Indigenous people-especially those without traditional documentation-at risk of detention, despite their deep ancestral ties to this land. Additionally, a federal freeze on health agency communications and grant funding creates uncertainty for vital services that many Native people rely on.

At UAII, we remain committed to protecting our community. We’re providing legal resources, advocating for systemic change, and ensuring that accurate health information reaches our people. But we need your support. Watch the video to learn more about these urgent issues and how you can help us fight for the rights, safety, and well-being of our Native relatives in Los Angeles. Together, we stand strong.
