Six ways to help Haitian-Ohioans today
As ICE and the Border Patrol threaten to surge in Ohio, people around the state and country are wondering what they can do.
Here is a list of the key organizations working on the ground in Springfield and Lima, another area of Ohio that welcomed Haitians, and is now worried about their ability to remain in their new home.
Sign this petition calling for an extension of Temporary Protected Status for Haiti, started by a Springfield couple.
Register to attend the Emergency Meeting: Unite for Springfield - ICE Out of Our Communities (online) on Tuesday, February 3, at 8:30pm ET. Ohio Immigrant Alliance is one the speakers.
Program the Ohio Immigrant Hotline (email and phone) into your phone, and share it with your friends and community. Reach out if you have a question, need a speaker, want to report abuses, need support for a loved one in detention, and more.
Order your “Ohio Is Home” and “Migration Is Human” merch from our online store. Designs by Shema Asifiwe, a high school student in Cincinnati.

Wish You Were Here
I wish you could have been with us at the Ohio Immigrant Alliance Family Reunion. It was a chance for us to come together after a difficult year, and there were some true heroes in that room.
People who fled apartheid in Mauritania and Guatemala, surviving kidnappers, animals, and dangerous terrain to exercise their legal right to request asylum.
People who exposed abuses from inside immigration jail, despite the risks.
A father who returned legally to the United States after being deported. A mother whose husband is in immigration jail, today.
Three Days of Action
We’re asking everyone we know to take two simple actions, from home, every day over a three day period. Send a message to the leadership of the Ohio National Guard that we DO NOT OR NEED want a military presence on the streets of Ohio. Our communities can solve our own problems by working together, not following politicians who want us to turn on each other.
