John,

The immigration crackdown is hitting nursing homes and home care agencies hard. Essential care workers are being ripped from their families and communities and leaving vulnerable seniors and people with disabilities with an urgent question: who will take care of them?

Right now, thousands of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders work tirelessly as part of our care community. For decades, they have paid taxes, contributed to our communities, and cared for our loved ones - feeding, bathing, and comforting the people we treasure most. But then their protections were stripped overnight with the end goal of deporting over a million people.

This cruel, targeted attack comes at a moment when our country is already facing a care worker shortage. Members of Congress have already expressed concern about this betrayal of TPS holders. But now it’s up to all of us to create enough public outrage that they have no choice but to act.

Tell Congress: Don’t turn your back on the caregivers who keep America running. Protect TPS holders now! [[link removed]]

Since 1990, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) has existed as a humanitarian program, allowing people who cannot safely return to their home countries to live and work in the United States. 1.1 million TPS holders now live here, deeply engrained into our communities – doing essential work and paying billions in taxes.

The White House has targeted hundreds of thousands of people from Haiti, Honduras, El Salvador, Venezuela, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Sudan and signaled that other countries could be next. Families who had lived here for decades were suddenly thrown into uncertainty, forced to prepare for raids, detention, and deportation.

TPS holders who had been protected now faced sweeping raids, detention, and deportation . A mother of two was deported alongside her 15-month-old U.S. citizen child. Another mother was separated from her 11-month old daughter, despite having a pending asylum application.

Make no mistake: this is a national care crisis unfolding in real time . With our rapidly aging population, every lost worker means families scrambling, corners cut, and quality of care at risk.

The good news is that Congress has the power to stop this . A group of Senators recently reintroduced a bill that would provide those TPS holders with a path to legal permanent residency. Other lawmakers have come together to try to ensure Venezuelans can continue to have TPS.

All of us need to speak out now, before more families are ripped apart and millions more Americans lose the care they depend on.

TPS holders are our neighbors, friends, and care workers. But now their lives have been destroyed overnight – and all of us will feel the impact. Let’s raise our voices together and make sure Congress hears loud and clear: Protect TPS holders. Protect care. Protect our communities.

As always, thanks for all you do,

The National Domestic Workers Alliance Team

The majority of domestic workers sit at the center of some of our nation’s most decisive issues because of who they are and what they do: they are women – mostly women of color, immigrants, mothers, and low-wage workers. They are impacted by almost every policy affecting the future of our economy, democracy and country.

Domestic workers can lead us toward a new, inclusive vision for the future for all of us -- and your grassroots support is the fuel that can get us there.
