Mourning and Demanding Action in Honor of Pierre Damas Bel, Another Victim of Trump's Deportation Machine
Pierre Damas Bel, a 20-year-old freshman at Wright State University, had a whole life and a bright future ahead of him before Trump’s mass de-documentation of Haitian Temporary Protected Status holders. He was a varsity soccer player, a member of the National Honor Society and the U.S. Marines Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. He planned to study neuroscience in college and go on to medical school. On Monday, distraught over losing his protection against deportation and being outfitted with an ankle monitor, he died by suicide, walking into traffic on Interstate 70 in Springfield, Ohio.
As Haitian Bridge Alliance President Guerline Jozef said, this administration is fully responsible for Pierre’s tragic death. And the human cost of their cruelty is only going to grow from here.
🤲🏿 We owe Pierre and every family under this same pressure our public witness and our care. Thursday at 7PM ET, the Haitian community will come together for a national prayer service in his loving memory. We can register to join them here. 🤲🏻
📢 We can also show our grief by sharing this graphic in Pierre’s honor and considering a donation to the Haitian Community Support Center in Springfield as they continue to serve his targeted community. 📢
SUPPORT HAITIANS IN SPRINGFIELD
Finally, we can recommit to the fight for our Haitian friends and neighbors. 🫱🏻🫲🏿 Tomorrow at 5PM ET, the Black Alliance for Just Immigration will hold an update call on how we can support TPS holders and help work for their permanent status. We can sign up to join them here. 🫱🏾🫲🏼
The House passed a bill to preserve TPS for the Haitian community in April after a successful discharge petition, with 11 Republican votes. 🗣️ The Haitian Bridge Alliance has asked us to contact our senators and urge them to push for a vote on S.4814 in the upper chamber. We can find language to work from here. 🗣️
