Please join us to protect TPS!!

The Supreme Court has put TPS families at risk, but we are not backing down.

On June 25, the Court reversed lower-court protections that had paused the termination of TPS for Syria and Haiti, putting thousands of our neighbors at risk of losing work authorization and protection from deportation.

But Flint is already showing up and fighting back. On June 27, FAIR and community members rallied in solidarity with immigrant families, called out the harmful implications of these decisions, and demanded immediate action from Congress.

Now, FAIR is taking this fight to Congress. Our TPS Advocacy Toolkit is live with talking points, call and email scripts, congressional contact information, background on legislative pathways, and ways to take action.

(Español abajo)🚨Flint, we need you! Kolvin is a Venezuelan asylum seeker and Flint resident who has been held at North Lake Correctional Facility for over 6 months, separated from his family.

Together, Flint and Genesee County raised the funds for his legal representation and today, a judge ruled he can be released on bond.

The bond is $7,000 and his sister, a refugee raising two children, has a limited window to pay it before that opportunity disappears. She cannot do this alone.

This community has already proven what we're capable of. We fought for Kolvin, we showed up, and we won. One final push and he walks out of that facility and back to his family.
Please donate if you can, and share this post with everyone you know. Every hour counts.

🚨 ¡Flint, te necesitamos! Kolvin es un solicitante de asilo político de Venezuela y residente de Flint que ha permanecido detenido en el Centro Correccional North Lake durante más de seis meses, separado de su familia.

Juntos, la comunidad de Flint y del condado de Genesee recaudó los fondos para su representación legal y hoy un juez determinó que puede recuperar su libertad bajo fianza.

La fianza es de $7,000, y su hermana, una refugiada que cría a dos hijos, tiene muy poco tiempo para reunir esa cantidad antes de que se pierda esta oportunidad. Necesita el apoyo de su comunidad.

Esta comunidad ya ha demostrado de lo que es capaz. Luchamos por Kolvin, nos unimos y logramos esta victoria. Solo falta un último esfuerzo para que salga de ese centro de detención y regrese con su familia.

Por favor, dona si te es posible y comparte esta publicación con todas las personas que conozcas. Cada hora cuenta.

Supreme Court Decision Puts thousands of Syrian and Haitian TPS Holders at Risk

The Supreme Court has reversed lower-court protections that had paused the termination of TPS for Syria and Haiti. This decision gives the administration more power to end TPS protections while making it harder for affected communities to fight back in court. This decision puts Syrian and Haitian TPS holders at risk of losing work authorization and protection from deportation.

The fight is not over. FAIR will continue to stand with Syrian and Haitian TPS holders and all immigrant communities. We will share more information soon.
