Haitian Women for Haitian Refugees

On August 14, 1791, enslaved Africans gathered in the night at Bwa Kayiman uniting in ceremony and strategy to launch the revolution that would end slavery in Haiti and birth the world's first free Black nation. That fire has never gone out.

For over 30 years, Haitian elder, visual artist, and community builder Granbwa has carried this tradition forward in Prospect Park commemorating Bwa Kayiman.

This August, as we face escalating attacks on immigrants, detention, and deportation, we return to Bwa Kayiman's teaching: liberation is won through unity, strategy, and spiritual grounding. Our fight against displacement and anti-Blackness today is the same fight our ancestors began.

Where: Prospect Park Lakeshore, Brooklyn
When: Saturday, August 15th at 3:00 PM

Come regroup, reconnect, and recommit to the work of freedom.

Ann kontinye batay la. Ayibobo!

"Tout lòt nasyon yo ki pa bò isit, yo pap fè nou favè pou TPS. Yo sipoze bay nou l paske nou travay, nou patisipe nan ekonomi payi an" - Marie, Fanm Ayisyen pou Refijye Ayisyen

"All of us nations represented here, it's not a favor they're giving us with TPS. They're supppsed to give it to us because we work hard and we contribute to the US economy."

On April 29th, while the Supreme Court heard arguments that could strip TPS from 500,000+ Haitian families, our people were on those steps telling the truth.

This is what it sounds like when our community speaks for itself. Watch the full speech. 🔊

Nou la. Nou kanpe. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

On April 13, 2026, Haitian Women for Haitian Refugees (HWHR) submitted an Amicus Brief in the case of Trump v. Lesly Miot et al and we’ve shared highlights here. In our brief we name the key role that the United States has played for generations in shaping Haiti’s political and economic landscape, contributing to the immense challenges the country currently faces. And yet, at the same time, the U.S. has long sought to turn away Haitian immigrants and refugees.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 29th at 9am, HWHR will join our community members, organizational partners, and concerned allies at a rally on the Supreme Court steps in Washington, DC, to demand justice for Haitian and other immigrants and refugees who require TPS protections.

While the lawyers fight for us inside, we will show our power outside and challenge the longstanding injustices our communities have experienced at the hands of the Trump administration’s inhumane and anti-immigrant policies.

We are hopeful the Supreme Court will carefully consider our amicus brief along with the painstaking legal work undertaken by lawyers in this case that point to why TPS protections must be upheld for all, despite intimidation from the Trump administration and its rushed and unjust attempts to use the Court to rule against our lives and livelihoods.

THE SUPREME COURT STEPS. APRIL 29TH. 9AM.

While the lawyers fight for us inside, we show our power outside. Our people will be in that courtroom AND on those steps.

500,000+ Haitian TPS holders and applicants - families, community members, workers. People who built lives here and who BELONG HERE. The Trump administration wants to strip our protections AND make sure no federal courts can ever stop them again, affecting millions of people. We say NO.

This is a fight for our lives, our dignity, and our right to determine our own future.

Come stand with us on the steps of SCOTUS. Bring your voice, your flags, and your signs.

What: Rally for TPS
When: Wednesday April 29th at 9AM
Where: Supreme Court of the United States in Washington, DC

Nou kanpe. Nou pap prale. Nou la pi rèd.
