Haitians Built Lives Here. We're Not Letting Them Be Torn Apart.

In 2010, an earthquake devastated Haiti, so the U.S. granted Haitians Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to live and work here legally. After 15 years of renewals, a recent Supreme Court ruling is ending TPS — putting roughly 350,000 work permits, and the people who hold them, at risk of deportation.
