Call Rep. Betty, Urge Her To Support TPS/DED For Mauritania!

Ohio is home to the largest number of Black Mauritanians in the US. Since Trump restarted deportations there, our fellow Ohioans have been arrested, tortured, extorted, and stripped of their citizenship.

This video from FWD.US makes a compelling case for U.S. immigration policy to protect Mauritanians who are still here, and bring those who were deported home. Plus, it features many Ohioans. Please share this video widely; here is a toolkit to make it easy.

We need Congresswoman Joyce Beatty’s support! Call her office today and ask her to demand TPS/DED for Mauritania.

Representatives Neguse and Omar have called for DHS to grant Temporary Protected Status or Deferred Enforced Departure to Mauritania. But Rep. Joyce Beatty, who is chair of the Congressional Black Caucus and represents the largest number of Black Mauritanians outside of Cincinnati, has not. She supported an end to Mauritanian deportations in 2018, but since then has remained silent on the need for TPS or DED.

Call her office TODAY at 614-220-0003. Tweet at us (@tramontela) to share how it went!
