Yesterday NETWORK’s Senior Government Relations Advocate, Min. Christian S. Watkins, along with other faith leaders hosted a “Good Trouble Lives On” vigil to honor the legacy of civil rights activist Congressman John Lewis. We praised, we sang, and we reminisced on the teachings of Mr.Lewis.

As the July 24 deadline approaches, 330,000 Haitian TPS holders could lose their work permits, putting families at risk of losing their livelihoods and facing deportation. TPS holders are our neighbors, parents, students, caregivers, nursing assistants, and members of our faith communities.

Dreamers and TPS holders deserve more than uncertainty. This week, advocates and Members of Congress took a critical step toward securing a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and TPS holders by launching a bipartisan discharge petition for the American Dream and Promise Act.

Rescheduled! NETWORK's Min. Christian S. Watkins will speak at the Good Trouble Lives On D.C. Vigil, this Thu. July 23, 7:30 PM @ McPherson Square Park! Carry the torch of the civil rights movement through faith and action. 📎Find an event: https://www.goodtroubleliveson.org/?utm_source=Network
