On Labor Day, we recognize the millions of workers whose labor keeps our communities and economy moving. Haitian TPS holders are part of that workforce. Taking away their ability to work legally does not serve the interests of the United States.

Pierre should still be alive today. If you are infuriated by his death, here is your chance to help us push for legislation that will restore the immigration status he lost and will protect everyone else who is currently facing the same threats ⤵️

Overnight, the legal status of more than 350,000 Haitians was taken away by a single Supreme Court decision. That’s how quickly doing everything “the right way” can mean nothing when the rules are changed overnight. So we marched.

To our allies, ⁠ ⁠ ⁠We must continue to take action to protect the more than 350,000 Haitian family members, friends, and neighbors who are impacted by the TPS for Haiti termination. The House has already acted, and now the Senate MUST urgently pass S.4814 and restore TPS

One call to your senator will help protect over 350,000 lives. By July 24th, all work permits for Haitians on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) will end. Then the gov will revoke protection. We could witness one of the largest family separation events in modern day history.
