Are There Really no Alternatives
to Armed Intervention in Haiti?

by Kim Lamberty

Haiti continues to deal with a heart-breaking crisis situation of extreme violence and food insecurity. Now the US government has signed an agreement with the government of Kenya to provide financial and other support for a Kenya-led "international police" action in Haiti. While the situation is desperate, I remain unconvinced that armed international intervention is the right solution.

Take Action for Peace in Haiti

J ([link removed])oin us ([link removed]) in fighting to stop the gun running to Haiti by asking your Representative to co-sponsor the U.S.-Caribbean Strategic Engagement Act of 2023. Armed gangs have taken control of most of Haiti, and the violence is devastating: 600 people died in Port-au-Prince in April of 2023 alone. The gangs can expand and maintain power because they are highly armed, and the U.S. is a major source of these weapons.

Use this form ([link removed]) to urge your Representative to support the bill!

If your member of Congress is one of the co-sponsors listed HERE ([link removed]), we ask that you instead send a thank-you message.
