Join Bishop Thomas J. Gumbleton and Others to

Protest US Orchestrated Coup & Occupation of Haiti



It’s been one year since the US orchestrated coup d’état and kidnapping of
Haiti’s elected President. It is becoming more difficult for Haitians to
survive in Haiti; over 10,000 Haitians have been killed demanding respect
for their vote and the Haitian constitution. Many more are living in
hiding fearing for their lives and their families against repression. Over
1,000 political prisoners have never appeared before a judge.



Join Us for a Demonstration/Civil Disobedience

Bishop Gumbleton, a champion of the Haitian people’s cause and strong
supporter of democracy will join hands with Haitians and friends of Haiti
to protest Haiti’s 33rd coup d’état. We are calling for the return of

an end to all political violence and persecution against women and
children, and demand the release of all political prisoners immediately.

Rights in Haiti. Bring your posters and your signs. This demo is being
