****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 immigrate elsewhere seeking a means to survive. $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.”

As 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.

The 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 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.
