Episode 8: Stand NOW In Solidarity with Haitian Refugees with Guerline Jozef
Manage episode 464034483 series 3643330
In the final installment of Reflections: A Race Forward Podcast, recorded at the National Immigrant Integration Conference 2021, Guerline Jozef, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Haitian Bridge Alliance, Inc. (HBA), tells Race Forward’s Hendel Leiva, “Speaking as myself, as a person who fought, as a person who knocked on doors and push so that President Biden and his administration can be in power, can be in place, because we had hope that saving the soul of America would include making sure that little girls and boys coming, knocking, asking for protection will be heard and will be given protection. So I am frustrated, I am pissed off and we demand accountability.”
Listen in as Guerline shares her feelings on witnessing the treatment of Haitian migrants at the U.S./ Mexico border, the hurt and outrage that was felt when the images of Haitian migrants came to light, and how anti-blackness within the immigration system is a root cause that must be addressed.
