INCIDIAH May28.2023
Version Anglaise French Version
INCIDIAH thanks everyone who participated in the opening of its intermunicipal project last week; this project called REMOTE 146 consists of assisting entrepreneurs from the underprivileged class in Haiti. Should we achieve the objective, our participants will be more convinced of such an encouraging assessment from the diaspora community.
The next edition of the intermunicipal plan will be held on Saturday August 12, 2023.

JEUX D’ENSEMBLE
The promotional spot about our collective action towards a REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL of the Diaspora is on its way. We are sure that this initiative will not take long to motivate more citizens and other diaspora organizations to join us in such a perspective. 》》
INFORMAL DEBATE.- Having been very busy during Flag Week, we had to postpone the informal meeting last Sunday. We plan to organize it every 15 days. The informal meeting allows us to exercise ourselves as groups or sectors working together on projects related to our cause so that we can become institutionally strong as a community of Haitians living abroad.
It is necessary to exercise and practice dialogues that can help us identify ourselves through vital questions of the national scene affecting our sphere of action.
Different entities and initiative groups come together based on their exchanges of opinions and their knowledge of à field in which they operate. Then, we get closer to each other like working a trade or practicing an art. It’s like a soccer team practicing game tactics that create connections between players. To complete and deepen tactical, individual and collective knowledge, training in itself is not enough. They will resort to friendly games. These allow them to make good passes, to make quick and immediate reflections, to refine their reflexes and offensive combinations, etc.
We have before us a flood of complications arising from the vices that reinvent themselves in many circles.
Take a look at Haiti! If we are not offered, from week to week, a new meringue to dance to, we are served bitter sequences fabricated from scratch emanating from a “we don’t know where” until we are in mourning for the worst.
Informal meetings arm us with a plurality of formalizations in our interventions and new ways of managing our dialogues to enrich our debates.
All this is to lead to a collective game in order to project the image of a better enlightened diaspora. This is to be done both internally and externally.
One of the goals sought is also to change the negative perception associated with the term “DIASPORA” which nowadays only has pejorative connotations in Haiti.
HAITIAN FLAG DAY is celebrated again this year in various major cities in the United States and around the world inhabited by thousands of us in the diaspora. This form of celebration still raises serious questions about the carnivalesque atmosphere that seems to take priority in the streets over the background of our national anthem in our parade, once it hits the street following the official ceremony. Where have our patriotic and civic impulses gone?
All historical dates have been trivialized.
On all counts, many of us have nevertheless remained ourselves by our values and our colors.
HALEC (Haitian-American Leadership Council) is recuperating.
Several meetings of HALEC have recently taken place between different members, old and new. Haitian-Americans organizations are now exploring new forms of operation on the North American pavement. Some are getting organized as they campaign to right the Haitian boat. Others are rethinking their advocacy strategies on behalf of the immigrant community. HALEC is among 501c4 organizations that believe voting in bloc is paramount to influence the policy of the United States toward Haiti.
