Sant La proudly joined the National Day of Action for TPS yesterday! Together with communities across the country, elected officials, faith leaders, and advocates, we stood in solidarity with the more than 350,000 Haitians facing the threat of deportation. Thank you to everyone who raised their voice and took action—we are stronger together. 🇭🇹✊🏾

📢 Stand with Our Community. On Thursday, July 9 at 5:30 PM, communities across the country will unite for a National Day of Action to stand in solidarity with Haitian and immigrant families.

Now is the time to raise our voices. Our neighbors, friends, and loved ones need to know they are not alone. While TPS may be temporary, people's dignity, safety, and humanity are not.

Join us. Share this message. Stand with our community. Together, we can advocate for compassion, justice, and the right for families to live without fear.

Freedom is the United States' founding promise. But for hundreds of thousands of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, including Haitian families who have built lives, careers, and communities across this country, that promise remains painfully out of reach.

True liberty cannot coexist with fear.

True independence cannot coexist with the threat of deportation.

Freedom should mean safety, opportunity, and the ability to live, work, and raise a family with dignity and a sense of belonging.

As we celebrate US Independence Day, we must not forget a truth history often overlooks: Haiti helped make the US Revolution possible.  Haitian soldiers provided direct military aid to the US colonies during the Revolutionary War. 

Today, Haitian families who have contributed immeasurably to this country are fighting for something fundamental: the freedom to remain with their families, keep their jobs, care for their children, and live without the constant fear of separation and deportation.

That is why we support Senate Bill 4814 and also call for permanent protections for TPS holders.
Freedom must mean more than fireworks and celebration.

It must mean dignity.
It must mean stability.
It must mean justice for all.

This July 4th,  don’t just celebrate the liberty you have. Fight for the liberty every family deserves.
Stand with Haitian families. Stand with immigrants.  Demand freedom — for all.  
And support SB 4814 at Flic.fyi/tps4haitinow

Call your Senators.
Post this message on all your social media platforms.
Urge your family, friends, and community to do the same.

The U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed a fundamental promise: every child born in the United States is a U.S. citizen, regardless of their parents' immigration status. This decision brings much-needed reassurance to families who have been living with fear and uncertainty. Birthright citizenship cannot be erased by an Executive Order.
