The federal administration continues to unjustly target immigrants who have entered or who are seeking to enter our country legally. These policy changes are inhumane, illogical, and damaging both to our nation’s character and to the very economy they claim to strengthen.

We stand with advocates across the country in the fight to protect the rights of immigrants. ⚖️🗽

Upcoming Webinar 🩺 📣 Join us Fri., October 2 at 10 a.m. for our virtual “The Cost of Closing Doors: Immigration and the U.S. Healthcare System.” The U.S. healthcare system depends heavily on immigrant workers, from nursing assistants and home health aides to highly skilled medical professionals. IINE staff, healthcare employers, and immigrant healthcare workers will discuss how refugees and immigrants are helping to meet critical healthcare workforce needs, the partnerships that make this possible, and the consequences of recent changes to federal immigration policy.

Giving Community ✨ A youth group attending Service Camp at Boston's Trinity Church spent an afternoon assembling backpacks filled with supplies for young immigrants to take to school this fall. Each backpack also included a personalized note of welcome and encouragement. As they worked on the project, IINE Boston Volunteer Coordinator Evan shared more about IINE's work and then screened several Suitcase Stories® performances, so the campers could better understand the experiences and journeys of the immigrants they were helping. We thank the youth group for their compassion and dedication!

Safe Drivers 🚙 🛞 Ten refugee and immigrant students attended Driver’s Ed classes at our Manchester office! They learned about the process of applying for their driver’s licenses, the basics of driving, the importance of insurance, what to do following an accident, and best practices for various road-related scenarios. Learning to drive is crucial for refugees and immigrants in New Hampshire, where there is limited transportation. Being able to drive makes it easier for them to go to work, attend school, visit the doctor, and more.

TPS: what it means and why losing it is so scary for our immigrant neighbors 📣 The recent Supreme Court ruling that allowed the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti and Syria has left many among us vulnerable, and many others confused. We've heard concerned community members ask:

❔ What is TPS?

❔ How does someone get this immigration status?

❔ And how does it differ from other statuses?

Since its creation, TPS has provided a lifeline for well over one million people from countries facing crises, from civil war in Syria to earthquakes and political violence in Haiti and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. TPS was a compromise for legislators, who may have opposed creating a new pathway to citizenship, but believed that people should not be returned to a country where they face risks to their safety. Now, so many are at risk. Read our blog to understand this legal immigration status, who it protects, and why it matters: https://hubs.li/Q04tyxWP0

More than just numbers 💗 Amda always dreamed of helping others. She completed medical school in Haiti, only to be forced to flee when gangs destroyed her family's home. In Massachusetts, Amda rebuilt her life from scratch. She worked her way back into healthcare and today is a medical assistant at a community health center. Now Amda and hundreds of thousands of fellow Haitians in the U.S. have been forced into instability once again. Despite following U.S. laws, working hard to support their families, and contributing to our communities, they are being targeted by our federal government. In response IINE has launched a TPS Support Initiative to provide compassionate, trauma-informed support. Our staff are currently reaching out to impacted Haitian families in our care to provide:

⚖️ Legal consultations to help our Haitian community members understand their options

👪🏾 Family preparedness training, so parents have a plan in place if the worst happens and they are separated from their children

🥫Emergency support, including housing and food

Please rush an emergency gift today to support our Haitian neighbors and friends when they need it most: https://hubs.li/Q04sYnkX0
