There is no "international community". There are governments, there are people who give a damn, and there are people in Haiti fighting to survive. We need to get resources directly to people in Haiti, not let our government try to maintain its control over Haiti's destiny that has been so disastrous for Haiti. Bill Clinton and George W.

Learn.
Write.
Hold accountable.
Organize.

Investigate and demand the Colombian government drop support for threats and acts of violence against farmers in Tolima and Arauca, in particular the targeted Association of Campesinos in Arauca, of whom 15 people were murdered by members of paramilitaries and the Colombian military.
Funding to the Colombian government must be stopped and the state must protect its people not attack them.
