On Saturday, Pierre Damas Bel was laid to rest. The eulogy was written by his father and delivered that afternoon by a family member.

Pierre died by su***de but it was the system wanting to deport him, rip everything away and humiliate him that killed him.

Please continue to support the family by visiting the link in our bio to donate to the only and official go fund me run by the Bel family.

Rest in Power Pierre Damas Bel. We will never forget you.

ANOTHER DEPORTATION TO HAITI

October 8, 2026- DEPORTATION to Haiti

Another Deportation flight is currently en route to Haiti,

The UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT has a LEVEL 4 DO NOT TRAVEL TO HAITI and yet they sent another deportation this morning.

Masked ICE/DHS agents are roaming around immigrant communities and seem to purposely be targeting abd racially profiling black people who they assume to be Haitian, following them from home ,school, laundry ect... Even those with approved i130, pending 485 or pending asylum cases

They want to inflict the most pain as possible.

Haitians are not safe in Haiti, they are not safe in the U.S 🙏🏿💔
We call on everyone to join us in the fight to protect the lives of Haitians.
Please call your senator and ask the to support Senate Bill 4814 ASAP to pritect the lives of Haitian immigrants living with the U.S

This week, Haitian Bridge Alliance’s, Guerline Jozef, was awarded the 2026 Wallenberg Medal by University of Michigan.

In 2015, Guerline Jozef received a call that changed the course of her life.

“There are Haitians at the border.” She was told on the phone. “Since you are Haitian, come take care of your people.” So she went.

She arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border to help Haitians seeking safety and protection. But when she got there, she saw that the need extended far beyond the Haitian community. She encountered Black migrants and asylum seekers from Cameroon, Central America, and elsewhere. “I came for the Haitians” Guerline said, “But I stayed for everyone.”

In 2016 she founded the Haitian Bridge Alliance and today, HBA provides humanitarian, legal, and social services to migrants while advocating for fair and humane immigration policies, with a particular focus on Black migrants and communities too often left out of the conversation. Guerline’s work has taken her from the border to detention centers, classrooms, Congress, the United Nations, and communities across the country—advocating for people seeking asylum and for protections that allow immigrant communities to live with safety and dignity.

The fight continues today, including the fight to protect Haitians who have relied on Temporary Protected Status and have had it ripped away.

This week, Guerline is in Michigan receiving the Wallenberg Medal. The Wallenberg Medal recognizes people who possess a vision of human dignity and the moral courage to act upon it—people who demonstrate that individual action, taken without expectation of reward, can create change in the world. On behalf of the Haitian Bridge Alliance, we are honored and congratulate our Executive Director, Guerline Jozef, on receiving the Wallenberg Medal and on the years of courage, solidarity, and action that brought her to this moment 🇭🇹
