Rally in Support of Temporary Protected Status For Undocumented Haitians

Wed., Sept., 16, 2009
11:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Ronald V. Dellums Federal Bldg.
1301 Clay Street, Oakland
Urge President Obama to Grant
TPS to Haitian Immigrants!


Join with the Black Alliance for Just Immigration and the Haiti Action Committee to support Haitians who are being denied safe haven in the U.S.

Storms and hurricanes in Haiti in 2008 left scores of people dead, an estimated one million families and children homeless, and destroyed local crops needed for food. Presently 70% of Haitians on the island are unemployed, while still others wait for relief and assistance. Not granting TPS and deporting Haitians aggravates the island's political, economic, social and humanitarian crisis.

Please come out and support the rights of Haitians! If you can’t come, you can still call.
