Today marks the 16th anniversary of the January 12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti—a moment of deep devastation, resilience, and global reckoning.

As we remember our loved ones who were lost, we also honor the ongoing leadership, resistance, and care that is being carried forward by Haitian communities and health workers today. At EqualHealth, this remembrance deepens our commitment to health justice and anti-racism in Haiti.

We invite you to engage with the resources our community has created to bear witness, share truth, and build collective power. Learn more:

"I was born in the southeast of Haiti, the eldest of a small family that only included my mother and my sister. We were raised in Port-au-Prince, and from early on my childhood was marked by frequent hospital visits due to my severe asthma. What stayed with me the most of my numerous visits to the emergency services was the empathy and kindness of the medical staff. Their compassion inspired me from a young age to become a doctor so that I could one day provide the same care and hope to others."

We invite you to read this powerful article, authored by CAR Haiti member Marie Alexandra Michel and published in The New Humanitarian, about the realities impacting health care workers in Haiti.

Join EqualHealth’s Mutual Aid Campaign for Haiti

This Easter, a time many consider for reflection and community celebration, we invite you to stand in solidarity with the Haitian community.

Right now, the Haitian community is facing an unprecedented crisis marked by escalating violence within Haiti and the weaponization of immigration policies that unjustly target Haitians in the U.S. Many of our partners, colleagues, and friends at EqualHealth are among those affected by these dire circumstances.

We are asking everyone in our community to:

1. Donate any amount to our mutual aid fundraiser.
2. Share a post on social media (Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter).
3. Send an email to an ally in your network.

EqualHealth believes that global solidarity is a powerful tool for addressing inequalities around the world. Our Mutual Aid program was designed to support communities, families, colleagues, and partners affected by both natural and human-caused disasters.
