In Kursban, a leading
immigration attorney who
sued the Trump adminis-
tration in 2017 when the
Department of Homeland
Security tried to end Tem-
porary Protected Status,
said the moment he heard
Trump's unfounded
(aims about Haitians in
Springfield, Ohio, eating
their neighbors' cats and
dogs, he got on the phone.
"I called everybody I
knew in the Haitian com-
munity and said, 'You
better get money. There's
350,000 Haitians who
can vote in Florida. You
better get money from the
Democratic National
Committee, because those
350,000 votes can cer-
tainly hp the election for
somebody like Debbie
Mucarsel-Powell," said
Korzban, a member of
Immigrants' List, which
has also given money for
grassroots get -out -the -
vote efforts in the Haitian
community.
Kmzban said that while
the national Democratic
Party has dismissed Flor-
ida as a red state, voters
an still make a dtffer-
en"They are wrong in
thinking thou 350,000
people can't make a differ-
ence," he said. "It may not
make a difference to
Trump, but it certainly can
make a huge difference in
winning the senatorial
election."
Hams herself said dur-
ing an interview last
month hosted by the
National Association of
Black Joumalists that
Americans "deserve bet-
ter" than the unfounded
rumors about Haitian
migrants eating pets.
Still, the silence and the
lack of spending on Cre-
ole -language radio and
other efforts have left
community activists, elect-
ed officials and party
members trying to offer up
their own response with
rallies, prayer vigils, voter -
registration drives and
door -knocking efforts to
try to counter the attacks.
Haitian -American elect-
ed officials have been
working to mobilize voters
in their comrnunities.
These Haitian -American -
led efforts have also in-
cluded national news
conferences, op-eds,fund-
ring and canvassing in
battleground states.
Those officials and
other community leaders
are also partnering with
advocacy, civic and va-
rious nonprofit organiza-
tions, plus other grassroots
groups sympathetic to
their causes, like immigra-
tion, to Moreau and mobi-
lize voter engagement.
Surin said that his group
was preparing to put up
billboards this week in
Miami -Dade, Broward and
Palm Beach counties in an
effort to counter the
Trump campaign's at-
tacks.
"We can sit here com-
plaining and crying about
what Trump his said, but
we have to take proactive
action," he said. Still,
Sarin added, "the commu-
nity is still reeling at the
fact that the vice president
hasn't said more about
this — the mistreatment,
the anacks, the fear that
people are enduring."

Miami Herald on Friday
night, Nancy Metayer

paign's Caribbean vote

Harrison Sept 10.
director in Florida, said
that the vice president's
campaign "has been con-
sistently engaging the
Haitian community in
South Florida and will
continue to highlight the
contrast" between Harris
and Trump.
"Donald Trump's lies
about Haitian immigrants
have threatened the safety
of the Haitian community
acro. our nation, and
there are millions of voters
in Florida and across the
country who are looking to
term the page on Tnunp
and his chaos and divi-
sion," Metayer Bowen, a
Coral Springs city com-
missioner, said.
Asked to discuss
Trump's outreach to Hai-
tian voters and concerns
about his rhetoric, Tnanp
campaign spokeswoman
Kardine Leavitt said sim-
ply: "Temporary Protected
Stars is by definition a
TEMPORARY program.
Under the Tnunp Admin-
istration, Haitian ILLE-
GAL immigrants will be
returned t0 their home
country."
'A LOT OF MISSED
OPPORTUNITIES
Haitian Americans
make up only a small pm
of the electorate in South
Florida. Between Miami -
Dade and Broward coun-
ties, just under 70,000
Haitian -born U.S. citizens
are registered to vote,
according t0 data analyzed
by Daniel Smith, the chau-
an of the University of
Florida's political science
deparnnent.
Those voters are over-
whelmingly registered as
Democrats — about 73%
of them, according to
Smith's analysis. Just 4%
are registered to vote as
Republicans.
Bastien, a prominent
community advocate be-
fore she became the first
Haitian -American woman
on the Miami -Dade Coun-
ty Commission, said the
Trump campaign's recent
debater between formervsw
Vice President Karnala
claims about Haitian mi-
grants have been "trau-
matic" for an already
marginalized community.
She said the nonprofit she
leads, Family Action Net-
work Movement, his re-
ceived calls from mem-
bers of South Florida's
Haitian community in
recent weeks expressing
concem for their safety
because of Trump's re-
marks.
"You can imagine that
people are scared," Bas-
tien said. "We have a
in
community unityyaunder
assault, we have a commu-
nity that feels under
siege."
Yet Bastien also ex-
pressed frustration with
national Dements, who
she said have a "complete
lack of presence" when it
comes to Miami-Dade's
Haitian community. She
said that her group,
FANM, and others are
planning to host a get -out -

but added that she hopes

begin to invest more re-
sources the final weeks
before the November

"They have a lot of
missed opporttuuties,"
Bastien said. "They take
our votes for granted, and
it's a big mistake."
HAITIAN COMMUNITY
FOCUSED ON
DEFEATING TRUMP
Florida, overall, is seen
as less competitive in this
year's presidential elec-
tion. Trump carried the
state in bath 2016 and
2020, and Republicans
have ssed an immense
voter -registration ad-
vantage over Democrats in
cent years, making the
stare something of a risky
investment for Harris'
campaign and national
Democratic groups.
But despite the commu-
nity's small number of
voters, Trump appealed t0
the community in 2016,
telling them during an
appearance at the Little
Haiti Cultural Center in
Miami that he was "run-
ning to represent Haitian
Americans" and wanted
"to be your greatest cham-
pion
Vanessa Joseph, the city
clerk of North Miami,
which has a significant
Haitian community, said
that there has been some
outreach from Harris'
team and national Demo-
crats. In August, the cam-
paign tapped Metayer
Bowen, who is Haitian
American, to lead in vot-
erengagenrent efforts in
Florida's Caribbean corn -
unities, and Harris'
campaign has also opened
an office in North Miami.
Joseph conceded that
more an be done to mo-
bilize Haitian Americans
ahead of the election but
said that the recent rheto-
ricin the presidential race
has "reminded folks in the
Haitian community of how
important it is to be civ-
ically engaged, to partici-
pate in the political pro-
cess,. make their voices
heard."
"It's incredibly impor-
tant for us to stay mission.
focused on what needs to
be accomplished," she
said. "Absolutely, there
should be more intention-
al investments, but that
should not stop us from
continuing to do the work
that needs to be done to
resure this community is
spected"
State Rep. Doeie Joseph,
the Democratic minority
leader pro tempore in the
Florida House, said that
the Haitian community's
focus, for now, is squarely
on defeating Trump and
his muting mate, Sen. ID
Vance of Ohio, who has
also echoed the false ru-
mors about Springfield
and acknowledged last
month that he was willing
to "create stories" to em-
phasize "the suffering of
the American people"
caused by large-scale
immigration.
Joseph said that while
immigrants and Black
voters "can take issue with
both parties, the imminent
threat for Haitian Amer-
tc s Trump.
les not the fast time
that Trump has targeted
Haitians. In 2017, he re-
portedly insisted in a
meeting with advisers that
Haitians shouldn't be
avowed into the U.S.,
claiming that "they all
have AIDS." During a
meeting with members of
Congress in 2018, he
derided Haiti and
unspecified African
nations as "s--thole
countries."
Aubrey Jewett, a politi-
cal science professor at the
University of Central Flor-
ida, said that the recent
discussion about Haitian
migrants fits neatly into
that same playbook — a
playbook that, at times,
has proved effective.
"Trump is going to be
Trump," Jewett said. "This
is the way he's cam-
paigned going all the way
back to 2016. He says
things that are over the
top and inflammatory and
often not true but that
seem to really energize
and mobilize certain seg-
ments of his supporter."
"The proof that they
think it's effective is that
they keep doing it," Jewett
added.

last week that it would

In Kuraban, a leading
immigration attomey who
sued the Tnunp adminis-

Department of Homeland
Security tried to end Tem-

said the moment he heard
Tru
mp's unfounded
claims about Haitians in
Springfield, Ohio, eating
their neighbors' cats and
dogs, he got on the phone.
"1 called everybody I
knew in the Haitian com-
munity and said, 'You

better get money from the

Kurzban, a member of
Immigrants' List, which
has also given money for

Kutzban said that while
the national Democratic

can still make a "They are wrong in
thinking those 350,000

Hands herself said dur-
ing an interview last
month honed by the
National Association of
Black journalists that
Americans "deserve bet-

rumors about Haitian

Still, the silence and the
lack of spending on Cre-

other efforts have left
community activists, elect-
ed officials and party
members trying to offer up
their own response with
rallies, prayer vigils, voter -
registration drives and
door -knocking efforts to
try to counter the attacks.
Haitian -American elect-
ed officials have been
working to mobilize voters
in their communities.
These Haitian -American -
led efforts have also in-
cluded national news

battleground states.
Those officials and
other community leaders
are also partnering with
advocacy, civic and va-

Surin said that his group
was preparing to put up

Miami -Dade, Broward and

effort to coiner the
Trump campaign's at-
tacks.
"We can sit here com-

OPPORTUNITIES'
Haitian Americans
make up only a small part
of the electorate in South
Florida. Between Miami -
Dade and Broward coun-
ties, just under 70,000
Haitian-bom U.S. citizens
are registered to vote,
acconiing to data analyzed
by Daniel Smith, the chair-
man of the University of
Florida's political science
department.
Those voters are over-
whelmingly registered as
Democrats — about 73%
of them, according to
Smith's analysis. Just 4%
are registered to vote as
Republicans.
Bastien, a prominent
community advocate be-
fore she became the first
Haitian -American woman
on the Miami -Dade Coun-
ty Commission, said the
Trump campaign's recent
claims about Haitian mi-
grants have been "trau-

She said the nonprofit she
leads, Family Action Net-

she said have a "complete

comes to Miami-Dade's

recent years, making the
state something of a risky
investment for Hans'
campaign and national
Democratic groups.
But despite the commu-
nity's small number of
voters, Trump appealed to
the community in 2016,
telling them during an
appearance at the Little
Haiti Cultural Center in
Miami that he was "run-
ning to represent Haitian
Americans" and wanted
"to be your greatest cham-
pion."
Vanessa Joseph, the city
clerk of North Miami,
which has a significant
Haitian community, said
that there has been some
outreach from Hams'
to m and national Demo-
crats. In August, the cam-
paign tapped Metayer
Bowen, who is Haitian
American, to lead its vot-
er -engagement efforts in
Florida's Caribbean con -
unities, and Hama'
campaign has also opened
an office in North Miami.
Joseph conceded that
more can be done to mo-
bilize Haitian Americans
ahead of the election but
said that the recent rheto-
ric
in the presidential race
has "reminded foul in the
Haitian community of how
important it is to be civ-
ically engaged, to partici-
pate in the political pro-
hess, to make their voices
ard."
"It's incredibly impor-
tant for us to stay mission -
focused on what needs to
be acrompBahed,"she
said. "Absolutely, there
should be more intention-
al investments, but that
should not stop us from
continuing to do the work
that needs to be done to
ensure this community is
respected."
State Rep. Dotie Joseph,
the Democratic minority
leader pro tempore in the
Florida House, said that
the Haitian community's
focus, for now, is squarely
on defeating Trump and
his running mate, Sen. JD
Vance of Ohio, who has
also echoed the false ru-
ts about Springfield
and acknowledged last
month that he was willing
to "create stories" to em-
phasize "the suffering of
the American people"
used by large-scale
immigration.
Joseph said that while
immigrants and Black
voters "can take issue with
both patties, the imminent
threat for Haitian Amer-
ica
ns" Trump.
It's not the first time
that Trump has targeted
Haitians. In 2017, he re-
portedly insisted N a
meeting with advisers that
Haitians shouldn't be
allowed into the U.S.,
claiming that "they all
have AIDS." During a
meeting with members of
Congress in 2018, he
derided Haiti and
unspecified African
nations as "s--thole
countries."
Aubrey Jewett, a politi-
cal science pratessor at the
University of Central Flor-
ida, said that the recent
discussion about Haitian
migrants fits neatly into
that same playbook — a
playbook that, at times,
has proved effective.
"Trump is going to be
Trump," Jewett said. "This
is the way he's cam-
paigned going all the way
back to 2016. He says
things that are over the
top and inflammatory and
often not toe but that
em to really energize
and mobilize certain seg-
ments of his supporters."
"The proof that they
think it's effective is that
they keep doing it," Jewett
added.
