[News] SF - Stop Mass Haitian Deportations by the Dominican Republic - Wed, 5:15

[Anti-Imperialist News]

*JOIN HAITI ACTION COMMITTEE TO DENOUNCE THE ILLEGAL INHUMAN POLICY OF 
THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC EXPELLING PEOPLE OF HAITIAN 
DESCENT.*

*WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 5:15PM AT UN PLAZA in SAN FRANCISCO*

Meet at the Simon Bolivar Statue in UN Plaza (Hyde Street between 
McAllister & Market) - a short walk from Civic Center BART in San Francisco

A draconian policy of ethnic cleansing in the Dominican Republic 
threatens a quarter of a million people with deportation to Haiti. 
Second and third generation Dominicans who are classified as Haitian 
have been stripped of citizenship and declared "migrants." Vigilante 
mobs and legal authorities alike are pushing people out of their homes 
and taking their property. Anyone who is Black and under the age of 85 
may be classified as Haitian, even if they were born in the DR and have 
no ties to Haiti. They are being expelled from the country and made 
stateless.

We join with individuals and organizations across the country, the 
Caribbean and the globe to denounce this injustice and demand the 
government of the Dominican Republic reverse its unjust law and end 
forced expulsion of its citizens. No Human Being Is Illegal.

At the same time, we cannot ignore or fail to denounce our own 
government which under the Obama Administration is responsible  for the 
mass deportation of over two million Latin American immigrants  by 2014 
and the incarceration of half a million people annually awaiting 
immigration proceedings in horrific detention facilities across the 
country. No Human Being Is Illegal.
