Really hurts to see all the devastation that’s going on in Haiti, and I feel like we really can’t catch a break. I’m about to play a tournament this week and I’ll give all the prize money to relief efforts for Haiti. I know our ancestors blood is strong we’ll keep rising 🇭🇹❤️🙏🏾

As you consider sending money to Haiti do not send money to the Red Cross. I like Fonkoze and Hope for Haiti who do a lot of great work on the ground, with efforts led by Haitian people.

Our thoughts are with the people of Haiti after the terrible earthquake. We pray for the victims and their loved ones. The United States is moving quickly to assess damage and assist in recovery.

Our work is to save lives.

Whether it’s Afghanistan, Haiti, Lebanon, or communities facing extreme hardship worldwide—one thing we could do to save lives RIGHT NOW is become a country that welcomes more refugees with open arms.
Refugees must be welcome here.
In what is already a challenging time for the people of Haiti, I am saddened by the devastating earthquake that occurred in Saint-Louis du Sud, Haiti this morning. Through USAID, we are supporting efforts to assess the damage and assist efforts to recover and rebuild.

Praying for Haiti: the first independent Black sovereign nation in the western hemisphere, people who revolted against slavery, colonialism, the World Bank and France's attempt to destroy them through structural adjustment loans, unnatural disasters. Haiti will not perish. 🇭🇹

If you’re seeing warnings to not donate to the Red Cross:

After the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the American Red Cross raised almost half a billion dollars “to help Haitians rebuild.” But no one knows where that money actually went https://t.co/NeAF6nTfJL
I don't know how to cope with the endless human suffering. Afghanistan, Haiti, the fires & heat & all the other products of climate change, covid, the overwhelming unnecessariness of this surge. To look away is unconscionable. To look at it and stay standing feels impossible.

Devastating earthquake in Haiti and stunning takeover by the Taliban in Afghanistan.

It’s been a heartbreaking weekend.
Somehow America must remain a beacon of light and source of strength for the world’s most vulnerable citizens.
