CELEBRATE THE HISTORIC RETURN OF JEAN-BERTRAND ARISTIDE TO HAITI!
A REPORT BACK

Saturday, APRIL 30, 4-6PM

La Pena Cultural Center, 3105 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley (wheelchair accessible)
$5-$20 donation requested (no one turned away for lack of funds)

Pierre Labossiere and Robert Roth, co-founders of Haiti Action 
Committee, were eyewitness to the joyful return of President Aristide 
and his family to Haiti.  Come hear their  account of the President's 
arrival and the response of the Haitian people, as well as the 
background to this remarkable event.

Rea Dol is a courageous woman and Haitian educator who has devoted 
her life to empowering the poorest communities in Haiti. She is the 
founder and director of <http://www.sopudep.org/>SOPUDEP school which 
serves the poorest residents of Port-au-Prince. Rea is also a 
community organizer and a grassroots leader who coordinates a 
federation of grassroots women's organizations fighting for survival 
in Haiti's harsh economy.

The program will include updates on the fraudulent elections imposed 
on Haiti, the "selection" of right-wing Duvalierest Martelly by the 
smallest electoral turn-out in the americas in 60 years, and what's 
ahead for the solidarity movement.

In the wake of sham elections and an ongoing 7-year military 
occupation, Haiti's grassroots movement for democracy is vital and 
alive and an essential part of movements around the world fighting 
for dignity and freedom. Let us continue to stand in solidarity!
