Thank you farmworkers!

Please call or email Ohio Senator Jon Husted and urge him to join his Ohio colleagues, Rep. Mike Turner and Governor Mike DeWine in supporting an extension of TPS for Haiti. Senate Bill 4814 would extend TPS for Haiti for three years and is the companion bill that passed the U.S. House in April with support from Rep. Turner who was one of ten Republicans who voted for the House bill.

Important Updates on call to action in Blue Ash on Sunday!

07/30/2026

Important call to action! Please read info in the text from Ignite Peace (don't just look at the poster). Please show up if you can and this is a good fit for you. Event will involve walking on grass shoulder from parking spots. Closer parking is being explored for those who need less walking, but is currently not known. Thank you!

URGENT CALL TO ACTION!

Many Haitians from Springfield received letters to appear at the ICE office in Blue Ash, Ohio at 8AM on a Sunday. This administration is trying to deport people en masse through quiet administrative procedures instead of neighborhood raids because they know how unpopular ICE is. We need to show up on Sunday, stand with our Haitian neighbors, and tell ICE: WE SEE YOU.

Meet at 7:00AM at the corner of Kenwood & Malsbary Road in Blue Ash. We will walk to the ICE office in a single file line in the grass along Malsbary Road until we are out front of the ICE Office on Redhill Drive. Please note there are no sidewalks or street parking on Malsbary. Safety marshals will be available in orange vests to keep us safe and respond to any law enforcement presence. There will be additional opportunities to sign up and be a witness through 2pm.

Do NOT park in the ICE lot. Possible parking: side streets and businesses.

Wear religious garments, pro-immigration t-shirts, and bring signs/banners to alert the general public of what’s going on in their backyard. Bring water and rain gear. ICE out of Cincinnati!
