</font><b>This summer, members of the Haiti Action Committee, along with
Dr. Akinyele Umoja of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, traveled to
Haiti. We met with grassroots activists, political prisoners and
human rights workers. We heard the continuing calls for the return of
former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. We saw close-up the resistance
to the U.S./U.N. occupation.<br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=3> <br>
</b></font>Throughout our trip, Haitian sisters and brothers expressed
their support for the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.
They sent solidarity to the San Francisco 8 Black Panther Party
veterans/political prisoners now facing trial. And they made it
clear that their fight for justice and democracy in Haiti is one and the
same as the fight for freedom here.<br>
<br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=3>We are holding this event in
solidarity with Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine, a Haitian human rights advocate
who has not been heard from since August 12<sup>th</sup> and is presumed
kidnapped. We urge everyone to continue to work for his safe return.<br>
