DESCRIPTION:OccupyForum presents…\n\nDefiant Haiti Needs Our Solidarity…\nAs the 
 U.S. plots to steal\nyet another Haitian Election\n\nOver 200 years ago, 
 Haitians rose and overthrew both slavery and colonial rule. Now, 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 comrades, 
 in the spirit of their fierce resistance.\n\nThe irresistible momentum of 
 Haiti’s non-stop mass movement — with tens of thousands in the streets 
 almost daily for many months — forced annulment of 2015’s fraudulent 
 elections. An entirely new election was set for October 2016 (now postponed 
 due to Hurricane Matthew). But the U.S. Embassy and their allies are still 
 scheming to block Haiti’s most popular political party, Fanmi Lavalas, 
 and thwart the popular will. After being excluded since the 2004 US 
 military coup, Lavalas was finally able to run candidates again, headed by 
 Maryse Narcisse for President. Huge crowds all over Haiti turned out for 
 Dr. Narcisse, former President Aristide and their grassroots 
 campaign.\n\nCome hear the incredible story of how this resilient people is 
 rising up and upsetting the diabolical plans of the imperialist power to 
 the north. And watch the heart-breaking 16-minute Film, What's Going on in 
 Haiti? — live footage of massacres by the US/UN military force still 
 occupying Haiti — 12 years after the US coup that ousted and kidnapped 
 President Aristide ¬¬¬¬ and the people's unbreakable will to 
 resist.\n\nPresenters:\nPierre Labossiere, Co-founder, Haiti Action 
 Committee; Board member, Haiti Emergency Relief Fund,\n\nDave Welsh, S.F. 
 Labor Council delegate; Member, Haiti Action Committee\n\nHaiti is dealing 
 with a devastating hurricane and worsening cholera epidemic. At the same 
 time, the Haitian people are rising up to resist the wealthy elite and 
 their foreign backers.\n\nAnnouncements will follow. Donations to 
 OccupyForum to cover our costs are encouraged; no one turned 
 away.\n\nMonday, October 17th 2016 from 6 - 9 pm at Global Exchange\n2017 
 Mission Street near 16th Street BART\n\nInformation, discussion & 
 community! Monday Night Forum!!\nOccupy Forum is an opportunity for open 
 and respectful dialogue\non all sides of these critically important 
 issues!\n\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2016/10/12/18792169.php
