Despite receiving racist emails and comments and suffering a swatting attack — a false report of an ongoing serious crime in order to elicit a response from law enforcement — journalists at The Haitian Times have kept reporting on what is happening in their community, including compiling a list of ways to help.
A nonprofit group in Springfield, the Haitian Community Help and Support Center, which has been inundated with requests for support from Haitians worried for their safety, has given voice to community members by speaking to media outlets on their behalf.
Multiple Haitian groups, such as Ayisyen pou Harris — Creole for “Haitians for Harris” — are harnessing that spirit of fighting back and channeling that frustration and outrage into political action. They are rallying behind Harris’ presidential bid and encouraging others to do likewise.
