We need your help: There is currently a humanitarian crisis in Haiti’s capital. The US is seeing more and more Haitians migrating to the US due to this crisis caused by years and years of wealth extraction, political interventions from countries like the US, Canada, and France, environmental disaters, COVID, and more. This has led to lack of food and water, gang violence, and the closure of US embassy in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti’s capital. Here’s what you can do in 3 mins: sign on to our letter which will email your member of Congress to demand the US work with and listen to the Haitian diaspora and Haitian-led organizations.

Today is the anniversary of the murder of Breonna Taylor, a precious life taken unjustly and far too soon at the age of 26. Today we remember to #sayhername, to always hold law enforcement officials accountable, and that the fight continues to ensure the dignity of all human life.
EDIT: Violence in Port-AU-Prince. We acknowledge that not all of Haiti has been impacted by the gang violence and fight against the narrative that all of Haiti is unsafe. Acting Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry announced late Monday he would resign, saying he will cede power to a presidential council following weeks of soaring anti-government violence led by an alliance of gangs. “The government that I am leading cannot remain indifferent to this situation. There is no sacrifice too big for our country,” Henry said in a video posted to official government channels. He added, “My government will leave immediately after the installation of this council.” Faith In Action Haiti’s Director Dr. Francois Pierre-Louis, Pastor Dieufort J. Fleurissaint, Board Chair, Haitian Americans United, Massachusetts Fr. Yves Geffrard, Notre Dame Catholic Mission, Fort Pierce, FL, Haitian Apostolate Dr. Keny Felix, Pastor Bethel Evangelical Baptist Church Rev. Lucy Kolin, Evangelical Lutheran Church of America Fr. John Baumann, Founder, Faith in Action International Bishop Dwayne Royster, Interim Executive Director, Faith in Action Way Forward in Haiti Steering Committee Have all signed on to a letter to the Biden administration that you can see at faithinactioninternational.org
