[News] Haiti Protest in San Francisco, July 28th at 4pm - Come out in solidarity!

[Anti-Imperialist News]

Haiti-July-28th,-2022-2.1.jpg

July 28th is the anniversary of the 1915 US Marines invasion of Haiti. 
The 19 years of US military occupation that followed - with its 
attendant martial law, conscripted labor, corporate land grabs, Wall 
Street profiteering, white supremacy - emerged as a blueprint for 
US/western intervention throughout the Americas and the impoverishment 
of Haiti that continues to this day. Come join us at the San Francisco 
site of Citibankand the French Consulateto highlight and protest their 
role in foreign intervention in Haiti.


Join usto once again demand that France pay its debt to Haiti. France 
forced the Haitian people to pay what amounted to over $21.7 billion in 
today’s money as “restitution” to their former French enslavers, robbing 
Haiti of billions of dollars that could have developed the Haitian 
economy and infrastructure. In 2003, the democratically elected 
government of former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide announced that it 
was pursuing this demand; this was a key factor in France’s cooperation 
and support for the U.S.-orchestrated coup that overthrew Aristide’s 
government and launched another foreign occupation of Haiti.


Join us to unmask the key role of Citibank, formerly First National City 
Bank of NY, in authoring and profiting from the 1915 US occupation in 
its pursuit of imperial expansion into the Caribbean.


Join usto condemn the ways in which the US and France continue to 
exploit Haiti’s resources, dominate its political life and prop up the 
tiny, violent and corrupt Haitian elite that now rules the country.


Join us to affirm our solidarity with the powerful Haitian grassroots 
movement that continues to fight for democracy and true sovereignty.
