Haitian Women for Haitian Refugees HWHR was founded in 1992 to respond to the human needs of Haitian refugees & immigrants in the U.S.

Founded in 1992 to respond to the refugee crisis faced by Haitian immigrants in the U.S. and Guantanamo Bay, Haitian Women for Haitian Refugees (HWHR) has provided support to hundreds of families who sought asylum in the US after being persecuted in Haiti. The organization has worked on various relief projects, including disaster relief for Haitian victims of hurricane George in 1998, and tropical storms and hurricanes that hit Haiti and the Dominican Republic in 2004, 2007, and 2008. HWHR had a relief program for September 11th victims who were displaced immigrant workers. Through this program we provided case management and financial assistance to over 200 individuals and families from Haiti, West Africa and other Caribbean Islands. Currently, HWHR provides comprehensive and culturally sensitive programs that include community education, supportive services and community organizing. Over the past decade, HWHR has also provided solidarity support to communities in Haiti to recover and rebuild in the wake of natural and man-made disasters.

A violent authoritarian state undermines our shared humanity. In the US, since Trump’s inauguration, over 610,000 people have been held in concentration camps, and thousands have been deported. We must not accept this as normal.

We have witnessed firsthand the harmful effects of ending vital legal protections for TPS holders in our communities. Over 500,000 Haitian TPS holders who have lost their status are denied humane treatment and access to social services, despite contributing billions of dollars to the U.S. economy.

On August 28th, our coalition, along with allies, gathered at Foley Square to demand that Congress take action to protect TPS holders and undocumented people. We are so grateful to our endorsers and everyone who stood with us!

🗣️The fight is not over! Here’s how you can act:

➡️We need two-thirds of the Senate to solidify S.4814, which would extend Temporary Protected Status for Haitians until 2029. Call your senator and urge them to vote “YES” on S.4814. The work won’t stop there, but this is a necessary next step.

➡️We are one signature away from the discharge petition for the American Dream and Promise Act (H.R.1589), a bill that creates a pathway to citizenship for millions of Dreamers, to force a vote in the House of Representatives. Call your Representative and demand that they sign the petition.

➡️Get involved with court accompaniment, mutual aid, and local rapid response networks to defend immigrants in your neighborhood.

Vandredi ki ap 28 out la a 4è nan aprèmidi, youn lòt fwa ankò nap rasanble nan Foley Square pou kontinye batay la. Vin jwenn nou an solidarite pandan nap kontinye batay pou pwoteje fanmi Ayisyen yo ak tout lòt fanmi ki afekte pa desizyon revokasyon TPS la.

Gen plis pase 350,000 Ayisyen atravè tout peyi a ki pèdi estati TPS yo enjisteman epi anviwon yon milyon lòt moun ki pèdi oswa ki deja pèdi estati yo. An nou mobilize kont enjistis, ak diskriminasyon ki ap fè sou pèp nou ak tout lòt nasyon ki pèdi estati legal yo. An nou pa kite laperèz ak atak administrasyon an ap fè sou kominote nou fè nou blye pouvwa nou lè nou òganize.

FANMI TPS NOU YO, MWEN VLE NOU KONNEN NOU PA POU KONT OU.

NAP KONTINYE BATAY POU YON ESTATI LEGAL.
