  • NEW TPS for Central American and Haitian nationals NOW!
    Version en español aqui: https://somos.presente.org/petitions/un-nuevo-tps-para-los-nacionales-de-centroamerica-y-haiti-ahora Climate catastrophes ravaged through Central America late last year leaving entire communities struggling to rebuild. The aftermath of Hurricanes Eta and Iota have made it nearly impossible for communities to rebuild with dignity. There is a severe social and economic crisis happening now and families need our urgent support. The climate crisis coupled with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic requires swift action by elected leaders. We call on the Biden-Harris administration to issue a new Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation for El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. We also ask for a new designation for Haiti [1], a country that has been ravaged by climate catastrophes, violence and severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The human costs in Central America and Haiti are heartbreaking at it’s time leaders take swift action to protect immigrant families. It is impossible for the nationals from these countries to live with dignity under the current circumstances. Reference: [1] Aleazis, Hamed.

  • Un NUEVO TPS para los nacionales de Centroamérica y Haití. ¡AHORA!
    Petition English Version here: https://somos.presente.org/petitions/tps-for-nationals-of-central-american-countries-impacted-by-hurricanes-and-storms-1 Las catástrofes climáticas que devastaron a Centroamérica a finales del año pasado, han dejado a comunidades enteras luchando por reconstruirse. Las secuelas de los huracanes Eta e Iota han hecho imposible que las comunidades se reconstruyan con dignidad. Ya existe una severa crisis social y económica, y las familias necesitan tu apoyo urgente. De forma similar, Haití ha sido devastado por catástrofes climáticas, la violencia política y la pandemia de Covid-19. La combinación de la crisis climática y la pandemia de COVID-19 en curso requiere acción rápida. Pedimos a la administración Biden-Harris emitir una nueva designación de TPS a los países de El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala y Nicaragua. También solicitamos una nueva designación para Haití [1], país que ha sido devastado por catástrofes climáticas, violencia y ha sido afectado severamente por la pandemia de COVID-19. Los costos humanos en Centroamérica y Haití son desgarradores. Es tiempo de que líderes tomen acción rápida para proteger a familias migrantes. Es imposible que las personas de estos países vivan con dignidad en las circunstancias actuales. Referencia: [1] Aleazis, Hamed.

  • Tell Congress- Education Not Walls with Our Tax Dollars
    The President submitted a proposed 2017 budget supplemental 2018 budget that includes a big increase in immigration enforcement and the military. This will come at the expense of many social, scientific and other programs that benefit working people. Among many other things, these proposed cuts would: - Reduce help for low- and moderate-income students to afford college; - Make it harder for cities and rural communities to invest in economic development - Eliminate housing and energy supports for families and seniors - Drastically reduce the capacity of agencies that monitor pollution and toxic contamination--threatening our water, air and other natural resources. Did you know that a billion dollars spent on domestic priorities such as mass transit, home weatherization, education and health care, would each produce more jobs than the same amount spent on the military?
