DESCRIPTION:  Benefit for the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund     Anna’s Jazz Island  
 Saturday, November 19th  2-5 P.M.     Haiti is in deep crisis.  The 
 U.S.-engineered coup that overthrew President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 
 February 2004 has exacerbated already-existing poverty and unemployment and 
 created a human rights nightmare.  Thousands have been killed, disappeared, 
 incarcerated and forced into exile. While the people of Haiti continue to 
 organize and mobilize for a return to democracy, they deserve our support 
 and assistance.     The Haiti Emergency Relief Fund offers humanitarian 
 relief to Haitian grassroots organizations and activists who have been 
 directly impacted by the violence of the coup.  Our goal is to sustain 
 these community organizers and victims of repression as they attempt to 
 rebuild their lives and continue political organizing inside and outside 
 the country.     Join us at Anna’s Jazz Island for an afternoon of 
 entertainment, information and solidarity with the people of Haiti.  Learn 
 more about the crisis in Haiti and the continuing resistance to the coup.  
 Take the opportunity to provide direct material assistance to those who 
 continue, despite all odds, to stand for a democratic Haiti.     All 
 proceeds benefit the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund. We hope you will give 
 generously.     Speaker:     Bolivar Ramilus – Mr. Ramilus is a Haitian 
 peasant leader and former member of Parliament from the Fanmi Lavalas 
 Party. He served as president of the Haitian Parliament’s Commission on 
 Peasant Affairs. The target of numerous death threats and several 
 assassination plots in the months after the coup, he has been living in 
 exile in the United States since April 2005.     Pierre Labossiere – 
 Pierre is a long-time Bay Area Haitian activist and a leading voice in the 
 movement to defend democracy in Haiti. He is a founding member of the Haiti 
 Action Committee.      Anna’s Jazz Island  2120 Allston Way, Berkeley.
