This is an excellent question. Because most of them have TPS status, there isn’t a refugee resettlement framework to provide services and support to the Haitians. Although the state is sending resources - and state troopers. The city had requested help from the state. (I hope their AG stays away and shuts up. He’s claimed the Haitians are “terrorizing” the community. Has his eye on the Gov Office when DeWine leaves.)
At any rate, there is a non-profit formed several months ago to fill the services gap.
I dare say the entire community could use support. The parents of the child who was killed in a vehicular accident (the haters call it murder) have asked people to use #LiveLikeAiden because their son enjoyed meeting people from other cultures and researching about other cultures. They are tired of their son’s name being at the center of hate.
Otherwise, I read that larger churches (most of the Haitian community are Christians) in Dayton and Columbus are reaching out.
Thanks for the link, Ann. I've made a donation to the Support Center. The way the Haitians are being treated now is the way Cheetolini would treat all of us who protest his criming and hate-mongering.
I’m certain they appreciate knowing people support them. It is just keeps getting worse. The Support Center moved a town hall style meeting for that community from their building to FB live because the Haitians were afraid to attend in person.
Sadly what you say is true. I noticed DJT expanded his list of people he says he would prosecute over election cheating - which we know is code for “don’t let me lose”.
“Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.”
Those who didn’t care about Springfield because it doesn’t affect them may be in for a surprise. What happens in Springfield (or any of their test sites) doesn’t stay there. The harassment doesn’t stop with Haitians or black people; the hospitals & schools. They are trying their damndest to create a serious incident.
This is out of Portage County, almost 3 hrs from Springfield. .
“Residents express fear after sheriff says ‘write down all the addresses’ of Harris supporters”
I don’t think he cares. Besides, he knows the state AG is cut from the same cloth.
The GOP chaos caucus blabs about cutting the FBI/DOJ budget (all the “alphabet agencies”). They’ve had a freeze on hiring for years. I’m not sure how the Feds are going to cover everything.
Then you have the Donald who won’t follow advice from his security detail. (We know how great the security was at Mar a Lago when he was president with a maximum level of security.)
Now he and JD are blaming Harris, liberals. The only good news is their mouths are running because the GOP is running scared. They have nothing else.
I agree. Do you (or does anyone) know of a good way for us to show our support for them?

That sheriff is dishonoring his oath of protecting and to serve. The Feds should be doing about all of this!
