What is the current state of terror in Haiti?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Who assassinated Jovenel Moise?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Who is the current puppet dictator Ariel Henry and how did he become president of Haiti?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What is the significance of the demand that France pays back, $33 billion, which is the current value of the money France extorted from Haiti following its successful slave rebellion of 1804. It took Haiti 122 years to pay this debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On August 30th, 2021, the popular organizations in Haiti including Fanmi Lavalas, met at the Hotel Montana and signed what is known as the \u201cCitizens Conference for a Solution to the Crisis\u201d or Montana Accord for short, laying out the steps towards a transition to democratic governance in Haiti. What is in the Accords?

There will be a rally at 2PM at Oscar Grant Plaza and march through Oakland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The billionaires are after our public resources here in the City of Oakland. The Oakland School Board has recently voted to close 11 public schools, despite overwhelming opposition from the community. School closures disproportionately harm communities of color. They are part of a long-term plan by corporations to destroy public education \u2013 selling them off to real&nbsp;estate developers or converting them into charter schools. Oakland does not have \u201ctoo many schools,\u201d as the district says. Oakland has too many charter schools!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the City of Oakland is planning to spend $855 million in taxpayer money to construct a new A&#8217;s stadium and condo complex at Howard Terminal, which is crucial to the port of Oakland. These privatization schemes are part of the gentrification of Oakland \u2014 attacking working-class&nbsp;communities, destroying union jobs, and displacing<br>low-income residents of the Bay Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year May Day (International Workers Day) falls on a Sunday, so our action will be two days earlier, on April 29.
