Our unwavering commitment
At HAFAD, we believe in a world free from discrimination. As a dedicated anti-discrimination and civil rights organization, we're a non-profit entity tirelessly working to combat inequality, promote justice, and serve the diverse communities of Queens, New York, and beyond.
Championing civil rights and legal aid
HAFAD strives to eliminate discrimination based on race, religion, disability, or sexual orientation. We offer crucial free legal assistance to individuals who cannot afford representation and actively engage in advocacy to change discriminatory policies. Our commitment extends to defending civil rights through strategic litigation, community advocacy, and essential public education.
Empowering our community, supporting the vulnerable
Beyond legal battles, HAFAD is deeply committed to assisting homeless and vulnerable individuals in our community. We have plans to fund these vital initiatives through the sale of products. Furthermore, we provide essential community support through pastoral care, spiritual guidance, and counseling, fostering strength and resilience for all.
Advocacy for all, powered by art
What truly sets HAFAD apart is our inclusive approach. We offer advocacy services that empower individuals to represent themselves, understand their fundamental rights, and access the resources necessary for independent living. We also harness the power of the arts to raise awareness about discrimination and passionately promote social justice. At HAFAD, everyone is welcome, regardless of nationality, race, or skin color.
HAFAD does not serve only Haitian people; it serves everyone, regardless of nationality, race, or skin color.
