Rising Together for Migrant Health Justice

Migrants are struggling. Clinicians are struggling. But we’re rising up together.
Migrant Clinicians Network is a powerful network. We are thousands of people across the country who believe that where you work, where you come from, or what language you speak should never determine whether you can access high-quality, culturally relevant health care.
Because while policies change and funding priorities shift, people still need care.
Clinicians are still showing up every morning, doing their best to care for patients while navigating funding losses, patient fear, and the structures that make taking care of our communities so difficult.
Community health workers and promotores are still serving as trusted bridges in communities that are overlooked, that feel silenced and left out.
And migrants and immigrants in our communities -- the farmworkers, seafood workers, dairy workers, day laborers, gig workers, the construction crews that rebuild our towns after climate disasters -- they are still doing the work that keeps this country running, all while facing enormous barriers to health, safety, and opportunity.
The need didn't disappear. Actually, it's growing!
At Migrant Clinicians Network, we’ve always believed that lasting change begins with listening, building trust, and showing up where we’re needed most. So we’ve asked our clinical network what they’re seeing, and where MCN fits in. And we’re rising up together to meet the challenges of this moment head-on.
For the next few weeks on social media, we’re releasing video interviews with folks on the frontlines, sharing how all of us together are rising for migrant health. Preview the videos here to see how our migrant and immigrant communities, our community health workers, our health care providers, and our MCN staff are all aligned in this important mission to build lasting health justice.
Be sure to head to our social media each week and celebrate our network with the release of each video!

“We come to work. We leave our health in the fields.” Hear directly from Blanca, a long-time farmworker.
“The resources help us put knowledge into practice.” Sandra Escobar, CHW, shares what she sees in her community.
Clinicians have to meet the same needs, but with fewer resources, says Dr. Menjivar.
When CHWs are supported, communities thrive, shares Priscila, a CHW.
Here are the resources we can’t afford to lose right now, according to Mary Jo, who coordinates outreach in rural Washington State.
