Feb 28, March to Protest the Anniversary of the U.S.-led COUP in HAITI

Forwarded from Haiti Action Committee:

The U.S.-led coup in Haiti culminated last February 29, 2004 when a contingent of U.S. Marines kidnapped President Jean-Bertrand Aristide from his residence, put him on a plane and expelled him from the country. Hundreds of thousands have been driven into internal exile, thousands have been killed in political violence and hundreds of political prisoners have been incarcerated during the ensuing occupation. On this important anniversary of the coup, we call on you to march in solidarity with the Haitian people.
