Virtual Event to Equip TPS Holders, Advocates, and Communities with Critical Legal and Legislative Updates
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In response to the recent Supreme Court decision with far-reaching implications for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders and immigrant communities, Haitian Bridge Alliance (HBA), in partnership with the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), will convene a national virtual town hall on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. ET.
The event comes as approximately 350,000 Haitian TPS holders and more than 1.3 million TPS holders and their family members face increasing uncertainty, with many at risk of being separated from their loved ones—including their U.S.-born children—if Congress fails to enact a permanent legislative solution. The emergency briefing will provide TPS holders, attorneys, advocates, faith leaders, and community members with critical updates on the legal landscape following the Supreme Court’s decision, ongoing litigation, legislative efforts in Congress, and practical guidance for impacted families. Participants will also hear directly from Members of Congress, immigration attorneys, and frontline advocates about the legal and legislative pathways forward.
“For hundreds of thousands of TPS holders, this is more than a legal battle—it is a fight to keep their families together,” said Guerline Jozef, Executive Director of Haitian Bridge Alliance. “Nearly 350,000 Haitian TPS holders and more than 1.3 million TPS holders and their family members now face heightened uncertainty. Many have lived in the United States for decades, are raising U.S.-citizen children, and have become indispensable members of our communities. Our message is clear: we will not allow these families to stand alone. We thank the CBC, under the leadership of the Honorable Yvette Clarke, for supporting congresswoman Ayanna Pressley’s Discharge Petition to extend TPS for three years. HBA and our partners have launched a robust advocacy effort in the Senate to see the companion legislation, S. 4814, passed into law. This town hall will ensure our communities have the information, legal resources, and advocacy tools they need as we continue fighting in the courts, in Congress, and across the country for permanent protections.”
