More than 100,000 Haitians are dead. People are buried alive under houses and workplaces that collapsed. The people of Haiti are suffering without clean water, food, and housing. Nearly every family has lost a loved one. We are asking you to donate to a group that builds people to people ties and seeks peace with justice.

If you were having a heart attack and needed an ambulance, would you want police to run into your house with their guns drawn? The first response of the U.S. government has been to send in U.S. military Special Forces and surround Haiti with the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard. Homeless, starving and thirsty, no Haitians will be allowed to flee their living hell on lifeboats. This is outrageous.

The suffering caused by this earthquake is made ten times worse by the U.S. domination and exploitation of Haiti. The U.S. overthrew and kidnapped Haitian President Aristide six years ago because the former Catholic priest worked for peace and justice. Aristide’s crimes were to oppose privatization and to try to improve the lives of the people.

So give your hard-earned money to a group that prioritizes empowering the Haitian people and promoting peace with justice.

Fight Back! is asking you to donate to Haiti earthquake aid at Haiti Reborn of the Quixote Center or Haiti Action Committee.
