Paul Farmer had zero patience for certain words: budget, strategic plan, tuition fees. These were polite ways of saying no, and he’d rather work towards finding ways to say YES. This is still the standard at PIH today. What word would you add?

Today's Supreme Court decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 350,000 Haitians adds to the long history of injustices against the nation. This is how structural violence works. Social, economic, and political forces are keeping Haiti impoverished and in crisis.
