Little Haiti , alongside the Labor Day Haitian task force committee and the wider Haitian community, raise concerns on the slated involvement of michel Martelly, better known as Sweet Mickey, in the Labor Day festival. Our worry hinges on the safety implications of his participation. Martelly, under a cloud of unclear allegations, presents a potential risk to himself and festival-goers on the parkway. Moreover, his involvement might cause discord within our community, rather than fostering unity and peace during our celebration. 

The Haitian community has been working tirelessly to promote unity and return to peace in light of recent events. Bringing Martelly into this mix could undermine those efforts. We must ensure that if any misfortune happens on the parkway, it does not unfairly affect the perception of our beloved Little Haiti, subjecting it to blame for any chaos at the festival.

It's crucial to understand that we, the Haitian community, seek a peaceful, unifying celebration that respects each participant's safety. We aim to change the narrative, not augment division, and solicit your support to keep our community safe. Sign this petition to support the call against Martelly's participation in the festival, helping us secure a peaceful, unified Labor Day celebration for our community.
