Who can join TAS Americas?
Anyone with a foreign-born story who lives in the United States, in any of the fifty states or Puerto Rico, whether they came from Mexico, Central or South America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, Europe or the Middle East, together with their children, relatives and friends; and any US citizen or permanent resident who now lives abroad. People living in Canada join through TAS Canada, and TAS Latin America welcomes residents of Latin America and the Caribbean.
I was born in the United States. Can I join?
Yes. Children, partners, relatives and friends of people whose lives cross borders are welcome, and so is every American, by birth or by choice, who now lives abroad.
What do you ask me for?
Your name, your email address, where you live and your preferred language. Your country of origin or heritage, your household and a message are yours to add if you wish. We never ask about immigration or residence status.
How do I add my household?
Choose “A household” and tell us how many adults live in the home. Each adult receives a card of their own, and children under 18 are included on a parent’s membership.
I belong to an association. What should I do?
Name your association in the message, and it is linked to your card. If you lead the association, register it on the page for community leaders.
What happens if I move to another country?
Your card moves with you. Every house of the Together and Stronger family recognizes it, and Americans abroad remain members of TAS Americas wherever they live.
In which language will you write to me?
In the language you choose on the form: English, Spanish, Portuguese or French.
Can I leave?
At any time. Write to us from the address you joined with and we delete your membership record.
