Mayor Eric Adams and Reverend Al Sharpton urged President Biden's administration to take immediate steps to address the severe humanitarian crisis unfolding in Haiti. "While the world is facing a crisis in the Middle East and Ukraine, in our hemisphere, there is a situation of terror that is not being addressed the way we think it should be. So, we brought together religious leaders who, in many ways, are the backbone of the Haitian and American community, to say that we are asking the country to do everything it can, and even more, to address the crisis in Haiti. We call on the White House and other federal government agencies to address the crisis in Haiti. Reports indicate that weapons trafficking from Florida is supplying arms to the gangs. Kenya has proposed sending a thousand soldiers to Haiti to help stabilize the country. This offer has been blocked by some Republicans on the Congressional Foreign Affairs Committee. This money must be unblocked immediately," insisted Reverend Al Sharpton, who also called for an investigation into arms trafficking from Florida or other regions of the United States and apprehending those involved.

Meanwhile, New York Mayor Eric Adams called for immediate action to address this crisis. "There are immediate things we can do right now: Stop the flow of weapons, stop deportations, provide the expertise needed to stabilize the community, and provide the resources needed at this time," said the mayor, emphasizing the importance of urgent action. For him, the crisis rocking Haiti should concern New York - one of the American cities with the largest number of Americans of Haitian origin or Haitians - as well as the entire national government, because it is our hemisphere.
