Join us for a discussion of recent political developments in, and solidarity
efforts for, Honduras and Haiti. Both countries have been at the forefront of
Canadian and American imperialist intervention in the region. In Honduras, the
violent repression of anti-coup activists continues with the support of
American and Canadian imperialism, as those same imperial powers plan their
free market reconstruction of Haiti.

It’s been eight weeks since the devastating earthquake in Haiti and familiar patterns of interference and neglect by the major powers that dominate the country are firmly entrenched.
Notwithstanding heroic efforts of ordinary Haitian people, Haitian government officials and agencies, and many international organizations, a grave health risk hovers over the people residing in the earthquake zone or who have fled beyond it. Meanwhile, the direction of Haiti’s reconstruction remains entirely undetermined.
