DESCRIPTION: \nOakland’s progressive mayoral candidates, Cat Brooks, Pamela Price, 
 and Saied Karamooz, will come together in front of Oakland’s City Hall to 
 welcome the National TPS Alliance, a coalition of groups representing 
 Temporary Protected Status holders now threatened with deportation. They 
 will rally and reconfirm Oakland’s position as a sanctuary city for all 
 those targeted by the Trump regime.\n\nThe TPS Alliance working in 
 collaboration with Central American Resource Center (CARECEN), CISPES 
 (Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador) and the National 
 Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) is traveling across the country 
 visiting over 50 cities in a specially outfitted bus to highlight the 
 contributions of TPS holders and the need to prevent the next wave of 
 family separations.\n\nAccording to the American Friends Service Committee, 
 “The largest group of TPS recipients is from El Salvador (195,000 people) 
 followed by Honduras (57,000 people) and Haiti (50,000 people).” 
 https://www.afsc.org/blogs/news-and-commentary/trump-has-ended-temporary-protected-status-hundreds-thousands-immigrants\n\nThe 
 movement to #SaveTPS has grown in number and force. In response to the 
 Trump Administration’s decision to terminate Temporary Protected Status 
 for nearly 450,000 beneficiaries, TSP holders are organizing among 
 themselves to demand dignity and respect. As TPS holders, the recipients 
 have been able to establish businesses, hold jobs, buy homes and raise 
 their families–but all that is now in jeopardy.\n\nAs José Mejia, of the 
 Save TPS Northern California committee, “Ending TPS goes against our 
 values as Americans. The riders in the TPS Journey for Justice are men, 
 women and children who strengthen our economy and society — we must allow 
 them to stay in their families, homes and jobs.”\n\nThe Journey for 
 Justice will arrive in the Bay Area Friday evening, August 24th, riders and 
 local TPS holders will briefly tell their stories and how the threat of 
 loss of status is affecting their lives. They will visit Daly City Friday 
 evening where officials will host them for dinner, then stop by OUSD’s 
 Sanctuary Training Kick-off on Saturday morning August 25th about 10:45 am 
 near Metwest High School https://www.ousd.org/sanctuarydistrict , next stop 
 is a 2 pm TPS Forum at the Corpus Christi Church, 62 Santa Rosa Avenue, San 
 Francisco, CA. This workshop will educate area TPS holders and interested 
 parties about their rights and options. All TPS holders and people 
 interested are invited to attend. After rallying in Oakland, they’ll be 
 back on the bus to more events in the Bay Area before heading to Oregon.

 on the Journey for Justice.\n
