3. Tuesday, 5:00pm, Protest New Invasion of Haiti & Police Brutality in Kenya
Meet at:
SF Federal Building
90 7th St.
SF
The Haiti Action Committee condemns the arrival of 400 Kenyan police officers in Haiti and the US-backed invasion to prop up the repressive PHTK regime. The committee also stands in solidarity with the people of Kenya and their protests against IMF-backed austerity measures. The event will include a demonstration and press conference.
Haiti Action Committee condemns the arrival of 400 Kenyan police officers in Haiti on Tuesday, June 25th, as the advance force for the US-funded invasion to prop up and “stabilize” the repressive US-installed PHTK (Haitian Party of Tet Kale) regime. Even though PHTK leader Ariel Henry was forced out of power this past spring, the PHTK remains in control, dominating a newly-installed “transitional presidential council,” thanks to US intervention For this new invasion, the Biden Administration is providing $300 million, including weapons and equipment in the form of 80 humvees, sniper rifles, riot control gear and more.
Although the US claims that the invasion is necessary to quell “gang violence” in Haiti, the “gangs”, more accurately understood as paramilitary death squads, have flourished under PHTK rule as part of the regime’s war on the popular movement. It was the US-backed coup against President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 2004 and the subsequent US/ UN occupation of Haiti that created the conditions for this paramilitary violence to ravage Haiti. Calling for yet another US-backed invasion and occupation of Haiti is akin to asking arsonists to put out their own fire.
Haiti Action Committee likewise stands in full solidarity with the people of Kenya and their courageous protests against the International Monetary Fund (IMF)-backed austerity measures that the corrupt regime of President William Ruto has attempted to impose.
We condemn the brutal police repression against these protests, resulting in the injuries of hundreds and the killings of demonstrators on June 25th. The people of Kenya and Haiti have a common enemy: neo-colonial dictatorships, supported by US tax dollars, that dutifully carry out IMF measures, as when PHTK leader Ariel Henry eliminated the fuel subsidy in October 2022, leading to a massive spike in hunger. Revered Kenyan author and social activist Ngugi wa Thiong’o made these connections in his Open Letter to William Ruto, first published on May 30th in PM News Nigeria.

4. Tuesday, 5:00pm (PT); 8:00pm (ET), Debunking Dangerous Deterrence Theory and Moving Toward Global Nuclear Weapons Abolition
Online registration: Webinar Registration – Zoom
For too long, deterrence theory has been used as the legitimizing foundation for US and global nuclear weapons policy. Deterrence is rarely examined, let alone questioned, but it is often waved around like some verbal magic wand to justify extremely dangerous and exorbitant policies that threaten life on Earth. Our speakers will examine the very frightening flaws of deterrence theory that have too often brought humanity to the brink of extinction, and offer practical strategies and tactics to replace it, and to advance the cause of global nuclear disarmament.
We will hear from the following experts:
Tadatoshi (Tad) Akiba, former Mayor of Hiroshima,
Japan Professor Elaine Scarry, Harvard University, author of Thermonuclear Monarchy: Choosing between Democracy and Doom
Jackie Cabasso, Western States Legal Foundation, United for Peace and Justice, Mayors for Peace
Emma Claire Foley, Defuse Nuclear War and Roots Action
Moderators: Joseph Gerson, Campaign for Peace, Disarmament and Common Security and Kevin Martin, Peace Action Education Fund
