Fantastic reporting about women who refused to give up and the lawyers who stood by them. #Haiti @ijdh

UN peacekeepers were sent to Haiti to help a country in crisis. But some of them exploited local women and fathered children they would go on to abandon. Years later, the families they left behind are desperate for support. buzzfeednews.com/article/karlaz…

But for years the @UN protected #peacekeepers, refusing to acknowledge that they could be sued or prosecuted for sexual abuse. They backed down only because women, watch groups, and their lawyers kept after them.

In rare cases when abuse is reported, investigated and acted on, #peacekeepers are sent back to their home country where officials may or may not be interested in tarnishing reputations, or cost of collecting evidence from abroad. That's one reason ...

Truly amazing how fast consensus moves to "more war."

Your reminder that the Afghanistan war cost taxpayers $300 million a day for the last 20 years. But somehow we can't afford to cancel student debt.

“We must avoid mistakes we made following the 2010 earthquake that left Haiti even more dependent on foreign aid,” writes @haitijustice. What do you think needs to be done differently in regards to aid packages to Haiti? thehill.com/opinion/intern…

International response to Haiti’s earthquake must avoid 2010 mistakes

We need to make sure every team responding includes Haitians who are both developing their skills and contributing essential local knowledge.

Four KEY MESSAGES when talking about racism: 1) Racism exists 2) Racism is a SYSTEM 3) Racism saps the strength of the whole society 4) We CAN ACT to dismantle racism



ProjectBlueprint reposted

In my latest @TheAtlantic, I reflect on the year of the racial pandemic within the viral one. In sum: People of color were infected, hospitalized, impoverished, and killed at the highest rates, while receiving the fewest medical + economic protections. 1/4 theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

We also call on the int'l community to take serious action towards achieving historical justice in Haiti, including restitution for the debt Haiti was forced to pay to France as reparations to slaveholders; effectively punishing the Haitian people for securing their own freedom.
