On the Fourth Anniversary of the coup d’etat that overthrew Haiti’s democratically elected government, the Toronto Haiti Action Committee joins in the worldwide day of mobilization and solidarity with the Haitian people.

FOUR YEARS AFTER THE KIDNAPPING OF A POPULARLY ELECTED PRESIDENT…
FOUR YEARS AFTER THE DISMANTLING OF AN ELECTED GOVERNMENT…
FOUR YEARS INTO A BRUTAL UNITED NATIONS MILITARY OCCUPATION…
FOUR YEARS INTO A DESTRUCTIVE PROJECT IN NATION BUILDING…
The poor majority in Haiti faces an unprecedented social and economic catastrophe. Basic human rights such as jobs, clean water, health care and education are unavailable and poverty, hunger and diseases are on the rise.
Canada’s assistance in Haiti to date has been to apply brute strength, superior firepower and a development program that dictates the best way to help the poor is to empower the rich.

Join us for a rally to protest Canada’s criminal role in the 2004 coup d’etat and ongoing efforts to subvert Haitian sovereignty.

When: Friday, February 29 at 11:30 am
Where: Outside the CBC building at 250 Front Street West
