U.S. intervention in Haiti is not about bringing peace and democracy. This week's invasion is the continuation of long-standing U.S. hostility against the people of Haiti. The U.S. has armed, financed and given support to right-wing opposition to the Aristide government. U.S. corporations use Haiti as the sweatshop of the Caribbean. This intervention protects those U.S. corporate interests. The presence of U.S. troops in Haiti will be used to enforce the discriminatory immigration policy of the Bush/Ashcroft administration.
Minnesota Says NO to US Invasion of Haiti!
On Thursday, March 4, around 125 protesters gathered outside the office of Senator Norm Coleman, to demand that U.S. troops withdraw from Haiti, and that President Aristide be restored to office. The protest was organized quickly by an ad hoc coalition of groups and individuals. The Anti-War Committee will send out announcements of future actions and events.
