Today, the DNC announced a historic five-figure ad campaign to reach Haitian voters and empower them to make their voices heard this November. The ‘I Will Vote’ campaign will reach Haitian communities in Florida through print, digital, and social media ads placed in local Haitian-owned and Haitian-serving publications. This is the DNC’s first-ever paid ad campaign solely dedicated to reaching Haitian communities, and the most the DNC has ever spent on a campaign targeting Haitian voters.  

The DNC’s ‘I Will Vote’ campaign directs voters to the DNC’s one-stop-shop website that features up-to-date national coverage of polling places and voter education information all in one place to empower Haitian communities with the information they need to exercise their right to vote in this critical election cycle. 

“This historic investment from the Democrats is just another pivotal step in our mission to engage with the large, diverse voting blocs that will help decide this election, and we are doing so by meeting Haitian voters where they are to provide vital information about voting in this election,” said DNC Chair Jaime Harrison. “There has never been a more important time to ensure Haitian voters are equipped with the power to make their voices heard at the voting booth and choose leaders at the local and national level who will prioritize their safety and dignity while advancing their fundamental freedoms, rights, and economic opportunity. With stakes this high, the Democratic Party is taking no vote or community for granted, engaging every facet of our diverse coalition of voters until no stone is left unturned in order to elect Democrats up and down the ballot this November.” 

“Our leaders are supposed to make our communities stronger and safer – and Donald Trump and JD Vance have shown that they will do the opposite,” said DNC Deputy Political Director of Coalitions Herlande Rosemond. “The Trump-Vance smear campaign has underlined how much is at stake this November not only for Haitian Americans, but for every American who was disgusted by their racist lies. Democrats stand with Haitian communities, and we are making sure they have all the information they need to exercise their rights and cast their votes in this election. As we say, Sak Pase? Nap Vote!”

Supporting and Investing in Reaching Haitian Communities

While Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans have launched relentless attacks on the Haitian community, from spewing hateful rhetoric to amplifying dangerous conspiracy theories, Democrats are doubling down on our commitment to uplifting the Haitian community through this ad campaign, translating the DNC’s Know Your Voting Rights handout into Haitian Creole, and with DNC Chair Jaime Harrison’s recent meeting with Haitian community leaders in Florida. 

The ad will be featured in the L’Union Suite and Le Floridian, two Haitian-owned publications in Florida.
