Defend the Rights of Haitians in USA and End US Participation in Violence and Oppression in Haiti: Participate in Haitian Flag Day, 5/18, Newark, 5/20 Plainfield
Join BAP NYC/NJ for a Haitian Flag Day rally at Championship Plaza in downtown Newark (232 Market St.)!
🗓️ May 18th
🕚 6:30 PM
📍Championship Plaza
232 Market St Newark, NJ Each year on May 18th, Haitians in Haiti and around the world celebrate Haitian culture and commemorate the creation of the Haitian Flag, a symbolic representation of their anticolonial revolutionary struggle. This year the Black Alliance for Peace New York City/New Jersey Citywide Alliance calls on those in and around Newark to honor Haiti’s revolutionary legacy by uplifting the ongoing struggle of the Haitian masses against imperialist intervention and occupation.
The Haitian masses’ struggle for popular sovereignty has been misinterpreted, devalued, and undermined for centuries (especially since the beginning of the U.S. / Core Group occupation of Haiti in 2004). But the Haitian masses have, for centuries, shown us what it means to fight for self-determination and Black Radical Peace. At 6:30 on May 18th at Championship Plaza (232 Market St.) in Newark, we will celebrate this living legacy of the Haitian masses and their collective fight for liberation.
Solidarity with Haiti is a critical component of a collective liberation struggle. The deaths of Jean Wilson Brutus and Wali Bey in Newark, of many others in Haiti and around the world at the hands of state and imperialist violence make one thing crystal clear: there can be no liberated Newark, no liberated New Jersey, and no liberated New York City without a liberated Haiti! Whether in Solino or the West Ward, the collective struggle for liberation must carry on!
Join us on May 18th! End the WAR on Black people!
Build African/Black working class power for a Zone of Peace!
Justice for Jean Wilson Brutus!

Another Haiti solidarity event is being hosted in Plainfield on May 20!
Editor’s note:
Haitians have been one of the very specific targets of MAGA racist targeting. Advocates are fighting against TPS revocation for Haitians (and others) in the USA. Haiti is targeted by Black Stone kill chain technology under guise of drug gang interdiction – dozens of women and children killed by drones.Let’s show NJ’s Haitian people that we have their backs – side by side we will confront and fight oppression of Hatians and all others!
