Not sure what’s going on with my hand in that pic 😆 but it was a really wonderful and generative meeting in these bleak times.

NEW: Almost 1.3 million people have fled homes due to unfolding humanitarian crisis in Haiti 🇭🇹😢 An additional 15,000 people in Haiti fled their communities after armed attacks in the communes of Dessalines and Verrettes. www.voice-online.co.uk/news/2025/07...

A huge thank you to all who supported our Haiti Support Group AGM & public lecture yesterday. At this truly troubling time, we are united in our love of Haitian history & culture & forever in solidarity with our Ayitian brothers & sisters. #SolidarityNotCharity haitisupportgroup.org/donate/

Like many, we were devastated by the loss of the Oloffson. Please help us remember Haiti’s cultural, musical, artistic, literary & intellectual hub in a positive light by sharing your happy memories of a time well spent while staying at/visiting the hotel. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/w...

This is absolutely devastating news. Here at the Haiti Support Group we are deeply saddened by the senseless and terrible obliteration of the beloved Oloffson hotel.

An absolutely appalling act of bullying and cowardice. We stand in solidarity with our Haitian brothers and sisters and all those impacted by this atrocious decision. Shame on Trump and his vile administration. #Ayiti #Haiti www.cnn.com/2025/06/04/p...

#Haiti: Extraordinary. Desperate #Haitians in the Central Plateau shut down electricity transmission to the capital to protest the murderous gangs that dominate their area. Where is the world press? @haitijustice.bsky.social @haitisupportgroup.bsky.social lenouvelliste.com/en/article/2...

Bravo to our former Haiti Support Group Chair Dr Antony Stewart for appearing on @skynewsrss.bsky.social this morning. He did his best to combat media stereotypes and false narratives to provide an important historical overview on the current problems #Haiti is facing. #SolidarityNotCharity #Ayiti

Join the Haiti Support Group for an annual update and a very special public lecture by our Chair Aïda Roumer in London on 26 July. The talk will include an update on Aïda’s recent visit to Haiti and our ongoing work with HSG civil society partners. All welcome. haitisupportgroup.org/hsg-agm-2025/

The apparent fact that the pope’s maternal grandfather was born in Haiti with both African and European roots and chose to pass in Chicago as white people would have made this a far more interesting story too. But no one asks me. hnoc.org/publishing/f...

Neocolonialism through Debt: How French and US Banks underdeveloped Haiti. A fantastic online debate organised by our Caribbean Labour Solidarity comrades! haitisupportgroup.org/neocoloniali...

April 17 marks the 200th anniversary of the Haiti indemnity agreement. In March, tennis star Naomi Osaka, who is of Haitian descent, added her voice to the chorus in a tweet wondering when France would pay Haiti back. theconversation.com/200-years-ag...

We were recently informed that our very close comrade and dear, dear HSG supporter Mario Joseph was killed in a car crash in Haiti. There are no words to describe the impact of this tragic passing on our group and all our supporters. Rest in power brother Mario. www.democracynow.org/2025/4/3/hea...

France: Can we get the Statue of Liberty back? Naomi Osaka: Can Haiti Get Its Money Back? EXACTLY NAOMI. EXACTLY. #blacksky www.bellanaija.com/2025/03/naom...

Rasanblaj Frankétienne! Grateful to the organizers for doing this and looking forward to listening this afternoon.

« J' écris comme si j'étais dans le monde dont je rêve. » Yesterday, launching the German translation of 'Soleil à coudre', we witnessed Jean d'Amérique and his characters coming to life. Characters 'fighting a world that denies them life'. Wishing Jean a wonderful writer's residence. Ayibobo!

For Plough Monday, the traditional start of the agricultural year, here's William Wilberforce in 1818 sending two wholly unprepared Suffolk ploughmen to the Kingdom of Haiti as an aid project. It didn't end brilliantly.

Hot off the press!

Just spotted two new records from the Haiti Support Group. Did you know the Queen of Haiti once lived in Marylebone? www.layersoflondon.org/map/records/...
