Graphic from Councilor Ruthzee Louijeune’s office with a light blue background. Header reads: What You Can Do To Continue to Support TPS Holders. Two numbered action items are listed. The first, labeled Call the members of the U.S. Congress in bold magenta text, urges readers to co-sponsor Rep. Pressley’s House Discharge Petition 15 and extend TPS for Haitians. 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. This is about protecting families, upholding our values, and standing on the right side of history. Please contact Congresswoman Pressley’s office to become a co-sponsor. Thank you for your consideration.” The second action item, labeled Call the White House switchboard in bold magenta text, provides the number (202) 456-1414 and urges readers to preserve TPS. The Ruthzee Louijeune, Boston City Councilor At-Large logo appears at the bottom.

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.

Jesse Jackson, Civil Rights Leader Who Helped Launch Progressive Movement, Dead At 84 Jackson's presidential runs in 1984 and 1988 played a significant role in shaping the modern Democratic Party.

" But his campaigns for president in 1984 and 1988 helped create the image of what the modern Democratic Party seeks to be but rarely seems to achieve: a multiracial coalition of voters dedicated to economic fairness." RIP Jesse Jackson.
