New York City-based Haitian-American Organizations, Rev. Al Sharpton and Elected Officials Hold Prayer Vigil for Haiti
Little Haiti BK, in partnership with the Office of the Brooklyn Borough President, Haitian-American community organizations and the National Action Network will hold a prayer vigil for Haiti on Sunday, July 25 at 1:30 p.m., at Newkirk Avenue between Nostrand and E. 29th Street in Brooklyn, New York.
The vigil is a community-led event, providing an outlet for New York-based Haitian-Americans and allies to unite in prayer for the people of Haiti. Brooklyn is home to the second-largest population of Haitian-Americans in the United States.
The people of Haiti have faced political instability, food insecurity and turmoil following the assassination of the country’s president on July 7.
Elected officials including Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, and prominent Hatian-American community organizations, including Little Haiti BK, Inc., the Haitian-American Law Enforcement Fraternal Organization, Haitian-American Law Enforcement Fraternal Organization, and more (please see below for the full list of participants), will appear in support of the people of Haiti and the New York City community of Haitian-Americans.
