May 13, 2008: Keep Fighting for Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine
The Haiti Solidarity Network of the North East (HSNNE) conferred its Haiti Human Rights Award on disappeared activist Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine last Saturday (May 10). HSNNE sees the award as not just a recognition of Lovinsky’s past work, but as an opportunity to mobilize for Lovinsky’s release so he can do more great work promoting human rights in Haiti. Let’s keep this momentum going, and insist on an investigation for Lovinsky.
LAST WEEK'S ACTION ALERT :
April 22, 2008: Jubilee Act Halfway There!
Great News- the Jubilee Act, including Rep. Alcee Hastings’ Haiti amendment, passed the U.S. House of Representatives last Tuesday, by a comfortable 285-132 margin, including 69 Republicans (click here for votes). Now we need to make sure the Senate follows suit when it takes the bill up this week!
