Looking for ways to support the Haitian migrants affected by the recent SCOTUS ruling ending Temporary Protected Status for Haitians?

🇭🇹Here's what you can do support a legislative solution:

📞 Call your Senators at (202) 224-3121 to urge them to support and co-sponsor Senate Bill 4814, which designates Haiti for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Share this information widely and get everyone you know to make the calls.

Call Script:
"Hello, my name is [Your Name] and I'm a constituent from [Your City], ZIP code [Your ZIP]."
"I am calling to urge Senator [Last Name] to immediately support and co-sponsor Senate Bill S. 4814, the bill to designate Haiti for Temporary Protected Status. Haiti is currently facing a severe humanitarian and security crisis. Thousands of TPS holders are essential workers, neighbors, and parents who have lived here and followed every rule. With recent court decisions causing chaos, the Senate must step in to protect these families and keep our communities together."
----
If you or someone you know is being impacted by the SCOTUS Ruling, please seek QUALIFIED legal council for advice relevant to your case and circumstances. Be vigilant & discerning!
