With an Introduction by Marilyn Langlois
Our guest, Pierre Labossiere, provides an update on the current situation in Haiti. He explains who the players are and debunks media narratives about the nature of so-called “gangs” in Haiti that have been covertly supported by imperialist and outside forces tied to the “Core Group” and their Haitian collaborators.
The self-appointed “Core Group,” with representatives from the US, France, Canada, Brazil, Germany, Spain, EU and OAS, is de facto governing Haiti at present. Pierre Labossiere is Co-Founder of the Haiti Action Committee (HAC) and the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund (HERF) established in the Bay Area in 1991 and 2004 respectively. Working with Haiti’s grassroots movement that is engaged in the struggle for justice and democracy, HAC and HERF provide information regarding conditions on the ground, assist refugees and support community-based initiatives and institutions working for the liberation and the rebuilding of Haiti.
Marilyn Langlois is a long time Haiti solidarity activist who has been with the Haiti Action Committee for over 20 years and has traveled to Haiti 4 times. She is also on the Board of the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund, and brings the voice of Haiti to the Board of Taskforce on the Americas.
Marilyn Langlois is a member of the TRANSCEND Media Service Editorial Committee and of TRANSCEND USA West Coast. She is a volunteer community organizer and international solidarity activist based in Richmond, California. A co-founder of the Richmond Progressive Alliance, member of Haiti Action Committee and Board member of the International Center for 9/11 Justice, she is retired from previous employment as a teacher, secretary, administrator, mediator and community advocate.
