The MIRACLE Campaign (Massachusetts Immigrant health Restoration Advocacy Campaign for Long-term Equality) is dedicated to restoring health coverage for legally residing immigrants. In 2003, state-funded MassHealth coverage was terminated for 10,000 "special status" adult immigrants.

In the spring of 2004, six convening partners joined together to plan the MIRACLE Campaign, a coordinated effort to restore primary and preventive health programs to legally residing immigrants in Massachusetts. The original conveners included: The Public Policy Institute (PPI), The Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition (MIRA); the Voice and Future Fund, the 501(c) (3) partner of SEIU 615; the Latin American Health Institute (LHI); Health Care For All (HCFA); and The Massachusetts Law Reform Institute (MLRI).

Before the campaign was launched, the six convening partners met on numerous occasions in order to build capacity for the campaign and to establish a level of understanding around operating principles.
