🌅 “Sit down and watch the sunset... I miss my ancestors. I miss my mother so much, I haven’t seen my house in a long time.” - Missing Homeland.

When the sun sets over North Carolina, our hearts often travel thousands of miles back to the Central Highlands. For many in our diaspora, the ache of being far from home is carried daily—in the memories of a mother’s cooking, the taste of fish stew with bitter melon, the laughter of childhood friends clearing the rice fields, and the unforgettable rhythm of the sacred bronze gongs. As we grow up and build lives here, it is easy for the rush of modern life to pull us away from our roots. But as the elders reminds us:
“We will lose our traditions if we don’t learn to be contented with ourselves... We will never forget the forests, mountains, rivers, our bond, our blood.”

Through the Montagnard Traditional Arts Program (TAPS), we are answering this call to stay united. We wear our traditional clothes, we dance, and we teach our youth the dance, language, gong music so that no matter how far away we are, our ancestors’ spirit remains alive. We walk the same path of resilience, ensuring that our children never forget who they are or the land we come from.

Take a moment today to remember. What is your favorite memory of home that keeps you grounded? ❤️

July 2025: SNAP, also known as food stamps, became restricted to U.S. citizens, green card holders, Cuban-Haitian entrants, and COFA migrants (People from Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and Palau). This means refugees, asylees, and many other immigrants who previously qualified may lose their benefits.

October 1, 2026: New Medicaid restrictions will take effect for non-pregnant adults. Many immigrants without green cards, including refugees and asylees, will no longer qualify for regular Medicaid.

January 1, 2027: Additional changes to ACA health insurance and Medicare will take effect, affecting many lawfully present immigrants.
However, we want to emphasize that not all benefits are being taken away.

Eligible children and pregnant women can still receive Medicaid. Programs like WIC, emergency Medicaid, school meals, and certain emergency assistance services remain available.

If you have children who are U.S. citizens, they may still qualify for benefits even if you do not. Each family member’s eligibility is determined individually.
We also want to remind everyone that receiving benefits does not automatically affect your immigration status or prevent you from getting a green card. Public charge rules are separate from benefit eligibility, and many immigrants are exempt from those rules.

If you receive a notice that your benefits are ending, please do not ignore it. Contact your local Department of Social Services or a qualified legal service provider to review your options.

We understand these changes can be confusing, especially for families who have relied on these programs for years. Please stay informed, ask questions, and share this information with your community.

Thank you, and please help us spread the word!
