Halt the Deportation of Haitians

By immigrationprof

From the National Network of Immigrant & Refugee Rights:

Dear NNIRR Members, Partners, Allies & Friends:

We are asking you to take three immediate actions by calling President Barack Obama to grant Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and to demand a halt to the deportation of all Haitians.

NNIRR is supporting this on-going action organized by the Fanm Ayisyen Nan Miyami/Haitian Women of Miami and the Florida Immigrant Coalition with other grassroots and advocacy organizations in Florida and other parts of the country.

Please take these three actions today to support TPS for Haitians and a halt to all deportations!

1.     We are asking organizations to sign and fax the below letter to President Obama on your organization’s letterhead.

2.     Pick up the telephone and call the White House. Tell President Obama to end the Bush Administration’s inhumane policy towards Haiti and grant TPS to Haitians. Your call to the White House is critical to demanding a halt to Haitian deportations, pending a full review of the policy (see fact sheet below for talking points).

3.     Sign an on-line petition that asks President Obama to grant TPS to Haitians and halt deportations: http://www.petitiononline.com/TPS2009/petition.html
