The Haitian American Business Network, Haitian American Caucus and Haitian Americans United For Progress Wednesday announced that they have joined the New York Coalition for Independent Work to help elevate the voices and needs of New York’s independent app-based workers. “The Haitian American community, like many other communities of color, began to rely on app-based services when there were no resources available to get through the hardships of the pandemic. Now, more than ever, we have come to understand the value of independent work for vulnerable groups that are usually left in the dark when we face these kind of unprecedented crises,” said Jackson Rockingster, President and CEO of the Haitian American Business Network.
