 demonstration beginning at 7:30 AM\n \nJoin us February 29th, on the 3rd 
 International Day in Solidarity with the Haitian People: coordinated 
 protests on 4 continents on the 4th anniversary of the ongoing US/UN 
 invasion, coup & occupation against democracy in Haiti .\n\nSponsored by 
 Haiti Action Committee .    www.haitisolidarity.net    Information: 510 847 
 8657\n\nDear Sisters and Brothers, Friends of Haiti : \n\nThe United 
 Nations forces in Haiti (MINUSTAH) and Haiti ’s tiny elite – backed to 
 the hilt by the US , France and Canada – continue their repression of the 
 poor majority, targeting especially supporters of the Lavalas grassroots 
 democracy movement . Although a new President Rene Preval was elected in 
 2006, most functionaries from the US-installed coup regime of 2004-06 
 remain in office today . And the reins of power remain effectively in the 
 hands of the US Embassy and other foreign occupation forces .\n\nLet us not 
 forget that 200 years before the 2004 coup, Haitians rose up and overthrew 
 both slavery and colonial rule . The Haitian Revolution was an 
 earth-shattering development in the struggle for the emancipation of labor 
 all over the world, and remains our shining example .\n\nNow, when the 
 enemies of freedom and sovereignty are attempting to re-colonize and 
 re-enslave Haiti , we need to act in solidarity with our Haitian brothers 
 and sisters, in the spirit of their resistance .\n\nSee you at 7:30 a . m . 
 , Friday, Feb . 29th - at the Marine Recruiting Station in Berkeley !\n\n
