Part of the problem with the Democratic brand, and why the DSA has been so successful, is that the traditional party power structure has been really hostile to passing the baton younger generations of leaders. This is especially true in Black/Latino communities.
After meeting with the President, our next Mayor @ZohranKMamdani showed why he is ready to lead our city.
He has a plan to keep us safe, make sure New Yorkers can afford their lives, and he has the leadership we need in this moment.
We need to establish a new political party with the goal of taking over Haitian politics within the next 10 years. A key requirement: everyone involved must be under 50.
Statement of the Haitian-American Foundation for Democracy
Once again, the Trump/Vance team shamelessly exploits Haitians as scapegoats during their bid for the presidency.
Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance and several congressional leaders have spread dangerous falsehoods, demonizing Haitian immigrants as homeless and hungry invaders that represent a threat to Ohioans — even suggesting they pose a danger to pets.
This reckless fear-mongering puts vulnerable communities at risk, stokes division, and incites hate crimes. Local law enforcement, faith communities, and social services must be supported in protecting these new community members from harm.
The simple truth is that towns like Springfield, Ohio, whose economy were in decline, have been revitalized by the influx of Haitian and other legal immigrants. As these communities adjust to demographic changes, this transitional period should be viewed as an opportunity for growth and collaboration, not for sowing confusion and fear.
We urge all Haitian-Americans and our allies to counter these vile attacks by actively engaging in the democratic process, promoting inclusivity. By doing so, we can help ensure that all members of society are treated with fairness, dignity, and respect.

I am outraged by the bigoted attacks on Haitian-Americans from those seeking our nation’s highest offices.
New York is home to one of the largest Haitian-American populations in the country. They’re a critical part of our New York family — and we’ll always stand with them.
Immensely grateful to 4x All-Star and Cy Young Award-winning pitcher Bartolo Colón for visiting children battling cancer today @Chai_Lifeline@CampSimcha.
Bartolo may be a big man, but he has an even bigger heart. He showed tremendous love and kindness to these children who are going through enormous challenges and lit up the camp with his presence!
