All roads have led to this. This moment is the result of years of ongoing struggle. Entire generations have grown up in uncertainty, with families living under the constant fear of separation. Now, that struggle has brought TPS families to the Supreme Court. For many, this is a turning point that could determine whether more than 1.3 million families stay together or are torn apart. Decades of contributions and lives built in this country are on the line. This is a life-defining moment for hundreds of thousands of families. With anxiety, but without fear, the TPS community stands resilient, united, and determined.

Todos los caminos nos han llevado a este momento. Este momento es el resultado de años de lucha constante. Generaciones enteras han crecido en incertidumbre, con familias viviendo bajo el miedo constante de la separación. Hoy, esa lucha ha llevado a las familias con TPS hasta la Corte Suprema. Para muchos, este es un punto decisivo que determinará si más de 1.3 millones de familias permanecen juntas o son separadas. Décadas de contribuciones y vidas construidas en este país están en juego. Este es un momento que definirá la vida de cientos de miles de familias. Con ansiedad, pero sin miedo, la comunidad de TPS se mantiene resiliente, unida y decidida.

¡CONTACTA A TU SENADOR ESTATAL!

Aquí tienes una lista de sus contactos: https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/legislative-roster

El lunes, los legisladores de Nueva Jersey avanzaron tres proyectos de ley que ofrecerían a nuestras comunidades una protección crucial frente a la aplicación de las leyes federales de inmigración. Los proyectos de ley se volverán a considerar el 13 de enero.

Bill A6310 garantiza el debido proceso para todas las personas de Nueva Jersey y limita la colaboración de nuestras agencias del orden público con ICE.

Bill A6309 protege los datos de todas las personas residentes de Nueva Jersey y evita el uso indebido de información personal.

Bill A6308 mantiene a ICE fuera de las escuelas, los hospitales y otros proveedores de servicios esenciales.

¡Contacta a tu senador estatal y dile por qué estas leyes son importantes para ti y para tu comunidad!
