On October 30th at 3PM, protest with us at the Statehouse to stand in solidarity with the Haitian people and demand that the US does not intervene! No to US intervention, Yes to the Haitian people’s sovereignty!
The Haitian people are intensifying their struggle against looming imperialist intervention with sustained militant demonstrations in defense of their country’s independence. Many thousands protested October 21 in the country’s capital Port-au-Prince, attempting to march on the U.S. embassy. They faced fierce repression from police loyal to the illegitimate government of de-facto Prime Minister Ariel Henry.
The demonstration took place on the anniversary of the death of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, a hero of the Haitian Revolution who remains an icon of the country’s ongoing fight to defend its sovereignty. The Haitian Revolution shook the world at the onset of the 19th century – the first successful slave rebellion to establish a republic terrified the rich and powerful. Haiti has been under constant attack ever since.
