The Haitian Christian Leaders Coalition (HCLC) is convening a Town Hall Meeting with Candidates for the upcoming elections — an open forum for the community to engage directly with those seeking public office on the issues that matter most to immigrant families in South Florida.
The event is scheduled for Sunday, July 26, 2026 at 5:00 PM at Bethel Evangelical Baptist Church, 17601 NW 2nd Ave, Miami Gardens, FL 33169.
A Forum Built on One Question
The dialogue will center on a single, direct challenge put to every candidate: “What is your vision for this community, and how do you intend to advocate for immigrant communities in this country?”
It is a question that cuts to the heart of what is at stake for thousands of Haitian and Caribbean families across Miami-Dade and Broward counties — families who are counting on elected officials to stand with them on immigration policy, civic representation, and economic opportunity.

- Jean Monestime — U.S. Congress
