NEW YORK — Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles-Robinson has emphasised the critical role remittances play in supporting Caribbean families and economies, recognising the sacrifices of diaspora communities across the United States.
Speaking at the Caribbean Diaspora United, Inc’s (CDU) Second Annual Community Unity Breakfast at Russo’s on the Bay in Queens, New York, Beckles-Robinson noted that over 15 million people of Caribbean heritage reside in the US, including more than four million in the New York Metropolitan area.
“The Caribbean region values your remittances to families and worthy causes,” she said. “But more importantly, the region knows that regardless of where you reside, you love your homeland. And that love transcends all. We may not say it as often as we should, but we love your love.”
