Locals support and volunteer at Haitian-owned businesses to stand against Trump and Vance’s anti-immigrant lies

The line down the center of the Rose Goute Creole restaurant on Springfield, Ohio's South Limestone Street is halfway out the door. It's been like this ever since former president Donald Trump falsely accused immigrants in Springfield of eating cats and dogs during a televised debate on 10 September.

...

As Trump and JD Vance, the Republican vice-presidential candidate and Ohio senator, continue to spread false information about Haitians in Springfield, regular people from the city and beyond are taking it upon themselves to seize back the narrative around immigrants in the Ohio city.

And the outpouring of support aimed at countering Trump's damaging comments hasn't been limited to volunteering.

Many community healthcare centers and support organizations that have been assisting Haitians in Springfield for several years are reporting increased donations and contributions coinciding with the furor of the past 10 days.

Those 20k Haitians cannot vote, that's why they are such a juicy target. I'm also interested in how the broader community will vote, but one thing is Shure.. they have some klan members in that community.
