Haitian nationals are being asked to meet in front of the Dominican Embassy in New York on 3 July in protest against what they describe as mistreatment and discrimination against Haitian immigrants to the DR. The protest is scheduled for 5:30. The protest is being organized by the Haitian Solidarity Roots Committee and the Dominican-Haitian Solidarity Network. Both are based in New York. Protestors will denounce alleged abuses of Haitian workers, what they call "racist" policies by the Dominican government and will call on the Dominican authorities to stop the deportation of Haitians from the DR. The organizations estimate that some 700,000 Haitians live in the DR.
