Half-Hour for Haiti Action Alerts
Be Part of the Solution for Haiti:
Make a Difference in Half an Hour a Week
Overview
Haitians often invoke the proverb “men anpil, chay pa lou”: many hands make the load light. Haiti’s human rights problems are severe, but experience shows that collective efforts by Americans and others in powerful countries can make a real difference. Knowing that people in powerful countries support them provides hope to political prisoners and confidence to grassroots organizers in Haiti. They appreciate sustained involvement, because they know from experience that change will not come from the Herculean efforts of a few, but from more modest but persistent efforts of many.
The Institute for Justice & Democracy in Haiti (IJDH) invites you to join many other hands to support justice in Haiti through its Half-Hour for Haiti program. Once or twice a month, we distribute an action that can have a concrete impact on human rights in Haiti to our email list and post it on our website. The actions can usually be done anytime over the next week, and in less than 30 minutes. Some actions are from IJDH, some from other organizations. The actions include telephone, email and letter-writing campaigns, petitions, and occasionally reading especially informative reports or articles.
We understand that finding time for one more activity in busy schedules is a challenge, so we try to make it as easy as possible, by providing relevant background information, as well as form letters, advocacy suggestions and talking points.
