DESCRIPTION:We are demonstrating to stand in solidarity with the overwhelming majority 
 of Haitians, whose continued resistance to an illegitimate, US-backed 
 regime has given rise to years of sustained protest against stolen 
 elections, government corruption, poverty, land grabs, rising prices, and 
 15 years of UN/US military occupation. These are the conditions that drive 
 people to leave Haiti and migrate elsewhere seeking a means to survive. 
 (Many live in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status/TPS, under threat 
 by the Trump administration.) $4.2 BILLION has been stolen from government 
 revenues. The international media has either ignored this struggle or 
 reported in a way that blames the demonstrators for “violence.” \n\nAs 
 resistance to this regime intensifies, so does repression. Police and 
 paramilitary forces have responded with bullets, teargas, imprisonment and 
 increasingly, massacres, aimed at wiping out Haiti’s grassroots Lavalas 
 movement. Over several nights in November, 2018 state-sponsored armed 
 forces tortured, and/or murdered several hundred people, raped women in 
 front of their families, and burned homes in Lasalin, a neighborhood of 
 Port-au-Prince with a history of resistance. \n \nThe U.S. arms, funds and 
 trains Haiti's military and police, and only with U.S. support can this 
 corrupt regime remain in power. The people of Haiti deserve the right to 
 live without the daily threat of state-directed violence. It is time for 
 the U.S. to be held accountable for its continued support of the repressive 
 regime now in power in Haiti.\nHaiti Action Committee\nhaitisolidarity.net
