Haiti-July-28th,-2022-3-a.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.
