DESCRIPTION:Join the Haiti Action Committee, Congresswoman Barbara Lee and ANSWER 
 Coalition at this important action. Following is the call to action from 
 the Haiti Action Committee. \n\nEMERGENCY VIGIL IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE 
 PEOPLE OF HAITI!\n\nMon. Jan. 18, 5pm\nOakland Federal Building, 1301 Clay 
 Street\nnear 12th St. BART Station, Oakland\n\nJoin the Haiti Action 
 Committee and Congresswoman Barbara Lee to stand with the people of Haiti 
 in this tragic hour.\nThree million people are homeless, untold thousands 
 are dead.  With their own hands, Haitians are heroically digging out 
 friends and relatives from the rubble left by the devastating earthquake, 
 showing once again their resilience, determination and courage in the face 
 of disaster.\nDays after the earthquake, the United Nations admits it has 
 fed only 8000 people. With thousands of U.S. troops headed to Haiti, it is 
 clear that the U.S. and UN are more concerned with “securing” Haiti 
 than with feeding and housing people. Millions of dollars worth of food and 
 medicine sits on the tarmac at the airport in Port-au-Prince while the 
 poorest communities remain without aid.\nIn a scene reminiscent of 
 Hurricane Katrina, 10,000 people have sought refuge in the Aristide 
 Foundation, near the airport in Port-au-Prince. Over fifty doctors are 
 there, yet no medical supplies or food has arrived.  \nThis is a time to 
 aid grassroots organizations that have always been there for the people. 
 This is a time to return President Aristide to Haiti.  \nWe remember the 
 words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who said, “Injustice anywhere is a 
 threat to justice everywhere.”\nContribute to Haiti relief through the 
 Haiti Emergency Relief Fund at www.haitiaction.net. \nFor more information,
