M ta renmen konnen si lè premye minis @citoyendidier t ap dirije Chanm komès yo se modèl lidèchip sa a li te deplòtonnen. Kisa l t ap regle nan chanm komès yo menm? PM nan dwe ban n plis kè sote sou fason sektè prive nou gen la a gen dwa pa kapab adrese pwoblèm pwofon peyi a.

Why is Erik Prince finally speaking publicly about his work in Haiti? Perhaps the recent nomination of a new US ambassador to Haiti — someone highly critical of Prince and with his own background in private security — could explain it ...

The latest World Bank report on Haiti. I wish it stressed some issues more like "premature tertiarization" in a low income country and how to address it. But still, required reading for anyone trying to understand the current crisis and what to do about it: documents.worldbank.org/en/p…

Si yo ta anonse gouvènman an riske tonbe anvan fen jounen an. Men, sèl sa ki kapab fè l rete sou pouvwa pou 2 ane, fè eleksyon jan l vle, se si l ta kreye yon pwogram solid ak dirab ki wetire 100 mil Ayisyen pòv nan grangou nan espas yon ane, kisa nou panse gouvènman an t ap fè?

I’m proud to present my first movie as a writer, director and producer: BORN TO DANCE. FORCED TO RUN
*SCREENING | BORN TO DANCE. FORCED TO RUN*
Saturday, July 25 | 6:00 PM
Children’s Museum of Brooklyn
145 Brooklyn Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11213
FREE ADMISSION
*VOICES Productions* invites you to a special screening of BORN TO DANCE. FORCED TO RUN, written and directed by *Pascale Solages*. A production of *Guerline Jozef*, *Haitian Bridge Alliance*, and *Little Haiti BK*, in partnership with the *Institute for Justice & Democracy in Haiti (IJDH)*, *Brooklyn College, Josué Pierre, Rogers Burgers, NativRoots Collective, and Haiti Cultural Exchange*.
In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) protections for more than 350,000 Haitians, this screening offers a timely and deeply human perspective on the realities behind immigration policy.
The documentary follows the journey of Steeven Labady, a Haitian dancer whose life has been shaped by migration, displacement, and resilience. After fleeing Haiti, Steeven’s path took him through the Dominican Republic, Switzerland, refugee camps in Germany, and eventually to the United States in 2023. Along the way, he confronted racism, violence, legal uncertainty, economic hardship, and the constant search for a place to belong.
Throughout his journey, dance remained his anchor. Through movement, Steeven transforms adversity into artistic expression and survival into resistance.
Blending intimate interviews, archival footage, and powerful dance performances, Born to Dance. Forced to Run explores migration not simply as a political issue, but as a human experience marked by courage, sacrifice, memory, and hope.
The screening will be followed by a conversation with *Guerline Jozef, Pascale Solages, Steeven Labady, and Ralph Thomassaint*, followed by a reception.
Program
6:00 PM – Opening
6:30 PM – Film Screening (English subtitles)
7:30 PM – Audience Q&A
We hope you’ll join us for an evening of film, conversation, and reflection on one of the defining human rights issues of our time.

VERY important for people to understand that the Trump admin did NOT win a decision today saying that they had lawfully ended TPS. Instead, what the Supreme Court held was that even if the Trump admin had openly ignored the law in making TPS decisions, courts cannot stop them.
