Tèt Ansanm! (Heads Together): Boston Solidarity for Haiti
Join other Boston-area students & residents for video screenings and the news that doesn't make it to the mainstream -- and discuss how we can advocate for human rights and Haitian self-determination.
We've been asking..."what can we do from Boston?" The answer is: "a lot!" Our advocacy matters. Why are Haitian voices not being heard in development efforts? Why is food aid composed of American, not Haitian rice? Why, three months out, are many camps still without services? Find out, and channel these joint voices along with others. It all starts with this meeting!
For updates on Haiti-related efforts, or to get more involved, add your contact to a running list of Boston-area folk:
