‘A lifeline’: House approves protected status for Haitians, with Pressley leading the charge - The Boston Globe The Boston Democrat helped court Republican votes to the bipartisan legislation.

WE DID IT! We forced the House to pass our extension of TPS for Haiti.

This is a victory in our long-fought battle to protect the dignity & humanity of our Haitian neighbors.

To our Haitian family in the MA-7th and across this country, this one's for you.

On to the Senate.

Our April meeting is next Tuesday, 6 pm, at Union Church in the South End!

Our speakers will include MA State Auditor Diana DiZoglio and State Senator Nick Collins.

Over 200,000 people could lose MassHealth under coming federal changes, report says - The Boston Globe Massachusetts stands to lose a larger proportion of its Medicaid rolls than any other state.

Donald Trump did this:

A sample script follows, reading: “My name is ______, I’m calling to advocate for Haitians in the U.S with TPS Status across the country as the Federal Administration is seeking to end Temporary Protected Status. I urge Representative _____ to co-sponsor Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley’s House Discharge Petition 15, which would allow a vote on House Resolution 965 to extend TPS for Haitians.

Please help grow support for Rep. Pressley’s discharge petition. Script & numbers ➡️

‼️ Call to Action ‼️

We’re just 35 signatures away from forcing a vote in Congress to protect TPS for Haitians. Have 30 minutes today? Call these reps—even if they’re not your district. The Trump administration has appealed to the Supreme Court to end TPS, putting 350,000 Haitians at risk.

Hope to see you next week (3/17) at Union Church at 6 pm!

We'll be hearing from State Senate candidate Dan Lander, D3 Governor's Councilor Mara Dolan, D4 Governor's Council candidate Ron Iacobucci, and Raise Up Mass's Harris Gruman.
