More than 1 million Temporary Protected Status (TPS) families across the U.S. are in danger of deportation, family separation, losing their jobs and health care, or continuing their higher education. To continue our fight to keep families together and educate more people about the impossible circumstances that TPS holders are thrust into, we have produced a play and two documentaries in collaboration with the Boston Experimental theatre Company: ‘The Last Dream’ (2018-2019) and ‘The Next Dream’ (2025). Shown at TPS campaigns nationwide, sent to local and national lawmakers, and shared with our allies, these documentaries are served as educational tools to educate more people about TPS families and their struggles. From 2018 to 2020 many families and their children across the country joined our fight to keep TPS, and stop Donald Trump and his racist administration from canceling it. None of this could have been possible without the support of U.S. citizens who believe in American values and dreams. With Donald Trump being back to the office, the problem stays the same. TPS families are again living in the constant shadow of separation. Every one of them goes to bed, not knowing what will happen to them and their families. Many immigrant families, including the TPS holders across the U.S. NEED YOUR HELP! Please consider joining us in one of our events to watch our new documentary: ‘The Next Dream‘, and to learn more about this campaign and how to help. Please stay tuned as we will need your help to support many families and individuals around the nation! We must keep fighting!

About The Last Dream

When Donald Trump was elected in 2016, he threatened to cancel the TPS nationwide and separate TPS families across the country, including the parents and their U.S.-born children. 

A child’s worst nightmare is being separated from their family. The children of Temporary Protected Status beneficiaries (TPS) fear that this nightmare may become reality. 

We heard a nine-year-old girl wish to ask the president how he would feel if he was a 9-year old and someone threatened to take his parents away!

We heard mothers cry that if they are deported, they will have to leave their children here in the U.S., not knowing when, or if, they will see them again.

In 2018, Boston Experimental Theatre joined the Massachusetts TPS Committee to support our campaign, share our stories with a broader audience, and advocate against Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant policies. inspired by the real-life stories of TPS families we produced a play, ‘The Last Dream,’. The play was performed in many places around the country, including the U.S. Congress, Boston City Hall, Harvard University, Boston University, and at the Imagination Stage in Maryland (2018-2019). Inspired by the play and in collaboration with Boston Neighborhood Networks, we made a documentary: ‘The Last Dream‘ in 2019 to reach out to more people across the country so more people can hear our stories and join our fight. The Last Dream documentary won The National Award for Best Community Media Production for Activism (2020), and was nominated for The 43rd Boston/New England Emmy Award (2019).
