DESCRIPTION:Judith Mirkinson, from San Francisco WILPF, and Leslie Mullin, of the Haiti 
 Action Committee, will report on current conditions, and newly aroused 
 activism in Haiti, at 7 P.M. on Tuesday, September 21st, at the Quaker 
 Meeting House, 225 Rooney Street (off the end of Morrissey, near Hwy 1) in 
 Santa Cruz.\n	The two women recently spent a week in the Caribbean island, 
 visiting refugee camps, where thousands of people have lived since the 
 devastating hurricane of August, 2008.  Despite the presence of UN troops 
 and the efforts of the Haiti Recovery Commission (which includes IMF, the 
 World Bank, the U.S.,Canada, France, and small number of the Haitian 
 elite), they found  unsanitary conditions, scarcity of food, water, and 
 tents, few jobs, and little preparation for future hurricanes. Many people 
 spoke of brutal repression, including rape and murder, by the international 
 troops, and by their own police.Many Haitian grassroots organizations have 
 arisen, and the women found that the spirits of the people were high with 
 determination to free themselves from domination by the U.S. and the UN. As 
 shown in a rally of 25,000 people on Aristide’s birthday, they demand a 
 return to self-rule under Aristide.  	\n	Free, open to the public; 
 donations willingly accepted.  Call (831) 457-6797 for more information.\n
