The exhibit explores the idea of home and whether, after decades of working and contributing to America’s economy, building their lives in the US and participating in all aspects of American civic life, TPS workers feel they are home in the United States of America. TPS Workers: Stories of Belonging explores the history of their struggle for rights and justice as migrant workers, for union organizing, and for American citizenship rights.

At a time when so many of our immigrant neighbors, coworkers, friends and family are experiencing fear and persecution, it is imperative that we provide the loving, compassionate and justice-driven support and protection they need! Participating will help build the collective strength of our movement to fight for our friends and fellow workers with TPS status currently threatened or revoked, as well as others in the immigrant community.

Registration is required.
