Please spread the word quickly:
A new website has been created in response to the U.S.-backed coup against Haitiís democracy:
http://www.distanceeddesign.com/Haiti
Its purposes include sharing information resources, including, but not limited to:
--News articles from alternative media
--Phone and e-mail contact information for US government officials and others
--Statements from various organizations
--Ideas for local activities that could be shared throughout the country
--Links to organizations and websites supporting peace, justice and democracy in Haiti
--Sample leaflets, fact sheets, vigil signs, etc., that we can share and adapt for local use
Please visit the website, use and share the information, submit items to the webmaster, and publicize the website widely.
Could quick action by U.S. citizens and the world community restore democracy in Haiti? The Bush administrationís 2002 coup against President Chavez in Venezuela was short-lived because people around the world and in Venezuela immediately rose up and said ìNO!î Can we do this again to reverse the coup in Haiti?
This website can help us compile and share information quickly. Letís use the website to help us say ìNO!î to the coup. We can support democracy by immediately:
--Providing the mainstream news media with credible sources and information
--Visiting, phoning and e-mailing our U.S. representatives and senators
--Responding rapidly with a great many small events (vigils, leaflettings, etc.) throughout the U.S.
--Raising the issue in conversation wherever we go
-- Informing the public
-- Creating a ìbuzzî at the grassroots level that can counter and undermine the propaganda from the Bush administration.
Of course, everything we do needs to practice what we preach. We can achieve peace and human rights only if our actions and attitudes are nonviolent and respectful of all people, including those who disagree with us.
The website was created and will be maintained by Dennis Mills, a dedicated and talented peace activist from Olympia, Washington, who volunteers a lot of time for the Olympia Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR), the Olympia Movement for Justice and Peace (OMJP), the Olympia Friends Meeting (Quakers), and other activities. In response to Rachel Corrieís murder by the Israeli military, Dennis created an amazingly comprehensive website at http://www.distanceeddesign.com/rachel/

Military "solutions" are actually the problem!
Change the dynamics -- Choose nonviolent alternatives.
