The LSB is opposed to the kidnapping of the elected President of Haiti, Jean Bertrand Aristide, and the US backed and orchestrated coup. We are further oppposed to yet another racist occupation of Haiti by US forces and their allies. We support the bringing to justice of those who are committing violence and other atrocities against the Haitian people, including by coup leaders, some of whom are purported drug dealers, convicted assassins, and mass murderers.

We are opposed to the returning by the US government of Haitian refugees who are fleeing violence, including the violence of poverty and who are bound to face more of the same upon their return to Haiti. We are demanding assurances of the safety of President Aristide, his family and supporters. We condemn acts of violence against the people of Haiti, where as in any armed conflict, women and children bear the highest price.

We oppose US financial and other intervention in Venezuela whose aim is to destabilize or topple the democratically elected government of Venezuela, a country where 80% of the people live in poverty, the majority of whom are women of African and Indigenous descent, and who elected Presiden Hugo Chavez to tackle povery and corruption.

Haitian refugees should be recognized as seeking asylum according to international law.
