Overview:<\/h2>\n

Immigrant families, TPS holders, faith leaders and advocates are holding coordinated rallies across the United States urging Congress to protect Temporary Protected Status holders and support legislation that organizers say would provide permanent legal protections.<\/p>\n

Immigrant families, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, faith leaders, labor allies and immigrant rights advocates are expected to rally in cities across the United States in a massive effort to urge Congress to protect TPS holders and support legislation organizers say would provide permanent legal protections.<\/p>\n

The rallies are taking place on Thursday, July 9, one day before they say TPS holders are set to lose their work permits.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Participants are calling on Congress to vote in favor of legislation<\/a>, which advocates say would provide permanent protections, including a pathway to citizenship, for TPS holders and their families.<\/p>\n

\u201cTPS holders have built their lives in the United States,\u201d Sandra Denis, president and founder of Avanse Ansanm<\/a>, said in an advisory. \u201cThey are raising families, working in hospitals, hotels, restaurants, farms, and businesses, and contributing billions of dollars to the economy every year.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The nationwide mobilization, organized by a coalition of Haitian-led groups, follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last month allowing the Trump administration to move forward with ending protections for TPS holders from Haiti and Syria.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Organizers say the decision places 1.3 million TPS holders and their families at risk of losing the protections that allow them to live and work in the United States.<\/p>\n

Rallies are scheduled in multiple cities, including:<\/p>\n
