CARECEN, the largest Central American immigrant rights organization in the country, empowers Central Americans and all immigrants by defending human and civil rights, working for social and economic justice.
For CARECEN, obtaining TPS for Central Americans without status has been a landmark achievement, as it was the result of many years of advocacy in the courts and in government on behalf of people who had fled Central America because of civil war during the 1980s and 1990s but then were denied political asylum.
TPS holders receive protection from deportation and receive work authorization. It is vital for CARECEN to continue to advocate for TPS permanency and protections for current TPS holders. Through the work of the TPS committee, we can continue pursuing the national campaign and advocating for a fair and viable solution for immigrant families in the U.S.
Your generosity allows us to continue our work towards a world where every person, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to live safely and with dignity.
Thank you!
