We know that no matter the outcome November 3, we’ll have our work cut out for us. While our hopes may be with the lesser of two evils, we know that a corporate-controlled political party can never represent the interests of the people.
Join us November 4 at 4:30 pm, at Apple Hilldale, 702 N. Midvale Blvd. Madison, for a car caravan in solidarity with people who are organizing all over the country. We will let our elected officials know that we will not be fooled. We will stand against facism and racism in all their forms and we will continue to uplift the demands of the Movement for Black Lives, as we have been doing for months, not only to ensure Trump’s departure from the White House but to DEFUND THE POLICE and INVEST IN BLACK PEOPLE.
Right here in Dane County we have the opportunity to divest from the systems of punishment that are beloved to both Republicans and Democrats and to invest in authentic conceptions of safety. We will continue to demand that the Dane County Board put Resolution 145 on their agendas and vote to BUILD THE PEOPLE, NOT THE JAIL.
We will also continue to send the message to the city council that defunding the police will remain our priority budget cycle after budget cycle. We are only growing stronger. We know that white supremacists may use the election as an opportunity to coalesce and we are prepared to stand with other local groups organizing in defense of vulnerable communities. But we will not be satisfied playing defense and we will not be deterred from the work that started long ago. We’re creating a new world, and we will win.

Haiti Action Committee is honored to distribute this recent press release from Fanmi Lavalas, the people’s party of Haiti. The statement has been translated from the original Kreyol.
In the press release, Fanmi Lavalas exposes the attempts by the PHTK ruling party in Haiti to stage yet another fraudulent election and condemns the war of terror being waged by government-sponsored death squads.
Demanding an end to the dictatorial regime of Jovenel Moise, Fanmi Lavalas calls for a transitional government of broad national unity to address the urgent needs of the population and to create the conditions for truly free and fair elections. We hope you will read this important statement and circulate it widely.
Fanmi Lavalas Press Release – September 26, 2020 (Unofficial English translation)
In the name of the National Representative President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, The Executive Committee and its Advisors bring you Lavalas greetings.
Many grave events are occurring in the country. After the assassination of Attorney Monferrier Dorval, Head of the Bar Association of Port-au-Prince, massacres have continued to take place in Bčlč, Solino, Site Solčy, Lasalin, and many other areas of the country. The train of death keeps moving each day and the blood of the people continues to be spilled non-stop since the PHTK has usurped power following an electoral coup d’état.
The dysfunctional electoral council created by the indicted [Jovenel Moise] is yet another violation of the constitution that continues to plunge the country into a deeper abyss. The national mafia and a sector of the internationals have colluded to organize another electoral coup d’état. They even want to replace the constitution of the country by another that is already prepared without the people’s input. They continue to declare war against the population by pouring fuel on the fire of the dictatorship. The intention of this criminal power structure and the international colonizers is to massacre innocent people, and to terrorize the population more each day to destroy our future and bury us alive.
Fanmi Lavalas Political Organization remains steadfast in its commitment to achieve the realization of the legitimate demands of the majority population. Electoral selection is a deadly poison for democracy. All sectors of the population have already stated their position very clearly on this matter. Churches, labor, and civil society organizations, together with the majority of organizations and political parties in the country, are all of a common accord on this.
Faced with this crisis, with its many roots deeply intertwined within the history and structure of the current state, Fanmi Lavalas Political Organization remains committed to the choice made by the Haitian people. It is for a solution based on a historic Unity for a transition that breaks with this ancient system that is crushing the people.
The population is demanding a new beginning. People are urging a re-founding of the state. Together with the population, shoulder-to-shoulder with all sectors with a clear vision, given the necessity to change this model of a plundering government, the time has come to overturn the cauldron. It is imperative to create a Government of Public Safety to accompany the people through the transition for a re-founding of the state.
Fanmi Lavalas believes that that the population is not looking for a new political platform, another political front, a new collective or political grouping in order to pull itself out of this bottomless abyss. It is only the People who can save the People.
Only popular mobilization – with all conscious people, true patriots, honest citizens, political parties or political organizations that choose to join with the people on the road to a transition – finally will be able to pull Haiti out of this present calamity. The solution is not an electoral selection; it lies in the mobilization of the entire Nation that inevitably will quickly result in the transition.
The time has come for all sectors in the nation, all the productive forces in the country, to gather our collective strength and unite with the population to put a stop to the project of this criminal dictatorship. This is a struggle to reclaim our Dignity in a country that will take the road of Progress and Development, in a climate of Peace and Participation of all Haitians inside and outside of the country.
Alone we are weak
Together we are Strong
All Together We are Lavalas

WHEREAS, the cop shooting of a Black man in Kenosha, Wisconsin has sparked justifiable protests against continuing racist police terror, and
WHEREAS, a white supremacist in complicity with police killed two protesters and wounded others, and
WHEREAS, the professional ballplayers in the NBA, MLB, NFL, all in labor unions, have decided to strike to protest and express their outrage over these racist killings and inspired others across the country, and
WHEREAS, President Trump sent federal troops to Portland, Oregon to quash protests against systemic racism and police repression; and
WHEREAS, the feds have grabbed people off the street in Portland and taken them away in unmarked vans for participating in Black Lives Matter protests recalling U.S.-backed military juntas in Latin America in the 1970s; and
WHEREAS, Trump has called Oakland a “mess” and threatened to send troops here in clear reprisal for ILWU longshore workers shutting down all West Coast ports on Juneteenth and mobilizing thousands to protest and march from the port and to rally at Oscar Grant Plaza (Oakland City Hall) demanding, stop police terror and end systemic racism; and
WHEREAS, police in cities and states governed by Democrats have wantonly killed African Americans, from Oscar Grant in 2009 to George Floyd in Minneapolis this year, and now shot Jacob Blake in the back seven times in front of his traumatized three boys as he was entering their car, and
WHEREAS, this bloody, racist repression happens daily in black ghettos and Latino barrios in the United States; and
WHEREAS, labor in order to emancipate all the working people and oppressed must defend the right to protest and join our brothers and sisters in the forefront of the struggle against all forms of racist, sexist and homophobic attacks;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that
1.) We demand that, to defend the right of free speech and protest, cops and feds get out of occupied Portland and Kenosha; and
2.) Police must be removed from all unions and labor bodies, as they are the repressors of workers’ strikes and enforcers of racist “law and order” against African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans and immigrants; and that
3.) We support the mobilization of the entire labor movement independently of the Democrats and Republicans in worker actions and a united front to stop the growing racist fascistic terror encouraged by Trump and his Neo-nazi cronies.
4.) We need to prepare for mass national working class united front strike action to force Trump out in his efforts to terrorize Blacks and other working class communities in order to prevent them from voting and attempting a coup to stay in office.
