PetroCaribe: 14 Organizations in Miami Protest in Solidarity with Movements in Haiti

A group of community organizations in South Florida held a rally on Saturday, November 16 in Miami to show solidarity with the many sectors of Haitian society that have called for systematic change in Haiti.

The rally began at 5:00 PM at the Toussaint Louverture Statue on the Corner of North Miami Avenue and 62 Street.

Haiti has been in a standstill nearing 10 weeks. All sectors of Haitian society, business, religious, political and the youth have been protesting for the resignation of President Jovenel Moïse, accountability on financial crimes and an overhaul of the political system.

The groups in Miami are especially decrying daily killings and disappearances of protesters and journalists. The Jovenel Moïse administration has been cited for repression by Amnesty International and numerous human rights reports implicate them in using terrorist gangs to massacre citizens.

As millions have taken to the streets asking for change, accountability, and a stop to massacres and human rights abuses in Haiti, the Miami organizations join those in Canada, New York and others to say with a loud voice: We stand with the Haitian people, We stand for change!

Organizations that supported the rally were,
Family Action Network Movement,
Sant La (Haitian Neighborhood Center),
Veye Yo,
Ayiti Toma,
Haitian American Community Development Coalition (HACDC),
Haitian American Professional Coalition (HAPC),
Florida Immigrant Coalition,
New Florida Majority,
We Count,
350 South Florida,
Association of Exchange and Development of Activities & Partnerships (AEDAP),
South Florida Progressive Jewish Action,
Labor Community Alliance of South Florida and FANM In Action.

Sit-Ins at U.S. Embassy in Haiti Will Continue, Protesters Declare

Demonstrators in Haiti amassed in front of the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince on Tuesday for the second time in as many weeks. The National Police of Haiti (PNH) have treated the embassy and surrounding areas as a sterile site, aggressively, excessively and violently disbanding demonstrations however peaceful, but an increase in frequency of protest access in the zone, as of recent, is noted at The Haiti Sentinel.

Tuesday, the demonstrators who rallied a sit-in demonstration at the U.S. Embassy raised the notion of no longer climbing up Delmas Road to protest in Petion-Ville but instead to organize all subsequent demonstrations at the United States Embassy.

"We're done climbing up to Petion-Ville to reclaim our rights, from now in, it's in front of the American embassy because they are the ones keeping this corruption in power, protecting the massacres, the criminals, keeping this oppressive system in power," said a demonstrator over the airwaves.

The U.S. and its diplomats in Haiti remain the only entity providing steadfast support to the Haitian President Jovenel Moïse. Mr. Moïse was is facing charges from the Supreme Court of Auditors for having established a number of shell companies for the purposes of laundering hundreds of millions of dollars of state funds through dubious contracts. His administration is charged by human rights organizations, local and international, for involvement in the massacres of his own people and systematic repression of demonstrations.

Every sector of Haitian society has called for the resignation of President Moïse, a judicial process against those responsible for corruption and massacres in Haiti, and a transition and refounding of the nation.

Does the Us really think these official visits do anything to help the situation? They only serve to harden positions on both sides.
