Haiti TPS Week of Action June 22nd-26th

Did you know the Supreme Court Is Deciding the Fate of 350,000 Haitians currently living in the US under Temporary Protected Status?

What is TPS? TPS allows foreign nationals from designated countries to live and work in the United States temporarily due to unsafe conditions in their home countries, such as ongoing armed conflict or an environmental disaster that would prevent them from returning home safely.

Now, Trump – with openly racist animosity towards Haitians – wants to end TPS for Haiti and 16 other countries. It was to have ended on February 3rd, but has been in the courts on appeal and is now before the Supreme Court which is expected to rule by the beginning of July.

At the same time, on April 16th the House passed HR 1689 which would extend TPS for Haitians for three years. The bill is now in the Senate.
