On Saturday, Pierre Damas Bel was laid to rest. The eulogy was written by his father and delivered that afternoon by a family member. Pierre died by suicide but it was the system wanting to deport him, rip everything away and humiliate him that killed him.

We urge all senators to co-sponsor S.4814 in order to restore TPS for Haiti for another three years. This legislation means no one will have to feel as desperate, hopeless, or fearful about their future. It is about restoring the LEGAL status they have had for over a decade 🇭🇹 #TPSForHaiti

044

Haitian Bridge Alliance @haitianbridge.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

At a time when the United States needs a stable and productive workforce, Congress should not force hundreds of thousands of workers out of the legal economy while Haiti remains unsafe for return.

131

Haitian Bridge Alliance @haitianbridge.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

HBA urges the Senate to act swiftly. Extending TPS is both a humanitarian necessity and an economic imperative: allowing Haitian TPS holders to remain legally employed means they can continue paying taxes, supporting American businesses, caring for families, and contributing to their communities

120

Haitian Bridge Alliance @haitianbridge.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

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.

Haitian Bridge Alliance @haitianbridge.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

This legislation means no one will have to feel as desperate, hopeless, or fearful about their future. It is about restoring the LEGAL status they have had for over a decade. Please help us in this fight 🇭🇹 We are at 34 co-sponsors — help us push to reach the 60 votes it needs!!

OR if your senators have already signed say: “As your constituent, thank you for co-sponsoring S. 4814, but please urge your colleagues to co-sponsor as well, so we can extend Temporary Protected Status for Haiti." 4️⃣ Share this post and tag your Senators

152

Haitian Bridge Alliance @haitianbridge.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

1️⃣ Call the Capitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121 2️⃣ Ask for your Senators by name or give your zip code 3️⃣ Say: "I'm a constituent, and I'm calling to urge Senator [Name] to co-sponsor on S. 4814 to extend Temporary Protected Status for Haiti."

Haitian Bridge Alliance @haitianbridge.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

The last resort we have left is for the senate to pass S. 4814 which will extend TPS for another three years. HELP US URGE OUR SENATORS TO CO-SPONSOR S. 4814. Here's what YOU can do right now:

Haitian Bridge Alliance @haitianbridge.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

TPS is a legal status that allowed people from Haiti to live and work in the US legally due to severe humanitarian crises in the country — but in July, it was terminated by the Supreme Court.

193

Haitian Bridge Alliance @haitianbridge.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

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 ⤵️

As a result, our attorney, Charlotte, was able to get the keys. ICE has been purposefully hiding the keys so families are forced to bear the impound fee. The system is sick and cruel. Now, our work is to locate the family and help liberate him from detention.

The March on Washington commemorated the 63rd anniversary of the historic march for jobs and freedom. In 2026, we marched to say: we will not go backward. We will not return to a time when people were told they had no rights and no voice.

100

Haitian Bridge Alliance @haitianbridge.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

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.

Haitian Bridge Alliance @haitianbridge.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

To our community: be very cautious. With the end of TPS, even driving with a legal driver's license is dangerous right now. ⁠ ⁠ ☎️Please call our hotline if you know of anyone who has been taken by ICE: +1 619-693-8708⁠ or send an email to: info@haitianbridge.org⁠

Dear community members, it is with a heavy heart that we have been forced to cancel our August 29th community gathering because more people have been detained by ICE in San Diego. ⁠ ⁠ Please bear with us as we look into the best ways to continue providing lifesaving support.

To our followers and anyone new here, we ask of you one thing: pick up the phone. Call your senator and urge them to VOTE YES on Senate Bill S. 4814. This will extend TPS for another 3 years.

The next one is said to depart this Thursday. This is our painful reality and the fear is striking in communities across the country.

Haitian Bridge Alliance @haitianbridge.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

The Trump Administration sent the first deportation flight of 162 people, many of whom lost their TPS, back to Haiti last week. The ages ranged from 19 to 71. 💔

We will follow the same format as last time! We will make calls together as a community and then do some text banking to encourage others to call.⁠ ⁠ If you can't make the phone banking, use our call form to contact your Senators. See you there! 🇭🇹

Haitian Bridge Alliance @haitianbridge.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

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

Haitian Bridge Alliance @haitianbridge.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

We're witnessing a blatant pay-to-enter system that keeps people from visiting their family, traveling for work, vacation or life-saving medical treatment. When a policy disproportionately burdens communities of color around the world, it demands greater transparency, accountability, and review.

163

Haitian Bridge Alliance @haitianbridge.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Most of the designated countries are in Africa, with others in the Caribbean, Latin America, Asia, and the Pacific—meaning the policy disproportionately impacts travelers from majority Black countries and the Global South.

131

Haitian Bridge Alliance @haitianbridge.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

🚨 On top of the devastating TPS news being revoked, the new expanded U.S. Visa Bond Program now requires certain applicants for B-1/B-2 visitor visas from 50 designated countries to post a refundable bond of $5,000–$20,000 before traveling to the United States.

There is still a few paths for Congress to provide relief through Senate Bill S.4814, but time is critical. We strongly urge every TPS holder to speak with a reputable immigration attorney as soon as possible to understand your legal options and determine the best path forward.
