Politics & You: Why it matters |
|
Politics in Haiti and the diaspora is a favorite topic of discussion for passionate Haitians. This panel will focus on politics in the diaspora as this is an area that Haitians significantly lack representation. We are closely impacted by bills and policies passed by the government, yet most of us are not intimately involved in this process. We as a community need to come together and educate ourselves on how we can best utilize our voices to make an impact.
