Advancing the Haitian Community in the Diaspora: Endorsing a Candidate Who Will Champion Our Interests

Dear Haitian community members in the diaspora,


In the spirit of unity and progress, we stand firm in our commitment to endorse a candidate who will wholeheartedly advocate for our interests as we navigate the territories of the United States and Haiti. Our recent meeting on September 29, 2024, has laid the groundwork for our aspirations and expectations regarding the future of our community and the pivotal role we aim to play in shaping it. As we collectively raise our voices, we echo the resounding call of "We The People," underscoring our vision for a brighter tomorrow.


Embracing Justice and Memory


The echoes of history reverberate through our community, urging us to seek justice for the untimely passing of our late president, Jovenel Moise, along with other Haitian citizens who tragically fell victim to unfathomable crimes in Haiti. We urge the upcoming administration to allocate resources to expedite the resolution of these cases within the first six months to two years. By doing so, we honor the memory of the departed and uphold the values of justice that define our community's fabric.


Investing in Education for Empowerment


Education is the cornerstone of empowerment, and we envision a future where all Haitians arriving in the United States are equipped with the necessary tools to thrive. We call upon the administration to extend support for specialized education programs that foster proficiency in Haitian Creole and English, enabling seamless integration and communication. Furthermore, providing financial assistance through a full-time minimum wage for six months will catalyze this transition, paving the way for a brighter future for all.


Catalyzing Professional Growth and Equal Opportunities


Our community comprises skilled professionals whose talents deserve recognition and support. We advocate for establishing mechanisms that enable the evaluation of credentials for professionals from Haiti at no cost, empowering them to pursue further educational avenues in the United States. This initiative, set to launch within the administration's first year, will unlock new horizons for our professionals, ensuring they are not confined to unsuitable employment options due to lack of recognition.


Forging Inclusive Pathways through Immigration Reforms


The journey to a better future must encompass inclusive pathways for Haitians to reside in the United States without the looming specter of exploitation or deportation. Over the initial two years of the administration, we urge a comprehensive review of immigration laws to establish secure frameworks that safeguard the rights of Haitian immigrants, preserving the sanctity of family bonds and preventing exploitative practices. By fostering an environment of acceptance and integrity, we nurture a community where every voice is heard and valued.


Fostering a Collaborative Future


As we navigate the complexities of our dual heritage, we envision a robust partnership between Haiti and the United States that transcends borders and fosters educational synergies. Over the presidential term, we call for a steadfast collaboration to advance educational opportunities in both nations. By intertwining our destinies and aspirations, we pave the way for a future where knowledge knows no boundaries and growth becomes a shared journey toward progress.


In conclusion, our journey as a community is defined by our shared aspirations and unwavering commitment to elevating each other. Together, we propel a narrative of empowerment, justice, and inclusivity reverberating across borders and generations. As we endorse a candidate who aligns with our values and aspirations, we forge a path towards a future where "We the People" embody the change we wish to see.


Let our voices unite, and our actions resonate with the spirit of progress and unity that defines us as a community.
