thinking of you,

haiti.

the earthquake devastation in haiti is a natural disaster built upon many man-made disasters of the western imperialist kind.
haiti is a republic born from a slave rebellion. the first country in latin america to win independence from europe! for centuries haitians have heroically resisted colonialism, neo-colonialism, dictatorships and more dictatorships; despite intense poverty and the most violent repression, haitian activists have been relentless in their fight for real democracy. they are truly among the bravest i have ever known.

solidaridad ahora! please consider a contribution to haitian earthquake relief. parnters in health & medecins sans frontieres are the most respected aid organizations in haiti. both have been working there for many years in the poorest communities and are widely respected by haitian activists.

que viva que viva que viva haití.
