NO TO ANOTHER ANTI-HAITIAN POGROM IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

A dangerous situation, not unlike the anti-Haitian pogrom of 1937, is 
unfolding in the Dominican Republic. Thousands of Haitian immigrants and 
Dominican blacks are being deported to Haiti, without regard for their basic 
human rights.  Hundreds of children are being forcefully separated from their 
parents.  People are being rounded up by the truckload on the basis of their 
skin color and driven to the border at gun point.  

On Nov. 20, in Santo Domingo, bloodthirsty Balaguer, the Dominican army, the 
hierarchy of the Catholic church and other forces want a mammoth rally in 
Santo Domingo to "stop the Haitian Invasion." 

On Nov. 20, in New York City, the call is out for Haitians, Dominicans and 
people of conscience to make a human wall in front of the Dominican Consulate 
in Times Square, to say NO to the racist mass deportation of Haitian migrant 
workers, and to the persecution of people on the basis of race, religion and 
national origin.  Come bear witness on that day for jjustice, dignity, human 
rights and solidarity among peoples.

MASS DEMONSTRATION:
Saturday, Nov. 20, at 11:00 a.m.
Dominican Consulate in Times Square
(Broadway at 43rd St.  Trains 1, 2, 3, 7, A, E, N, R)

Fernandez, Balaguer, the World is watching!
Stop the racist deportations!
