National Haitian American Community Town Hall
May 19, 2026
Thank you for joining the National Haitian American Community Town Hall, presented by NHAEON, HAPC, and Avanse Ansanm.
Due to unexpected technical difficulties at the start of the program, we moved to a new livestream link. We are grateful to everyone who stayed with us, found the new link, shared it with others, and continued participating.
