Aristide and the Endless Revolution

Powerful documentary on the events leading up to the overthrow of Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 2004. The film explores the legacy of colonialism in Haiti today. We see the continuation of this colonial history with the intervention of thousands of US troops following the tragic earthquake there.

Each year we gather together to make Valentines for US political prisoners. This is a great way to celebrate Valentines Day- sending love to folks who've been in prison for years due to their political involvement. We need to make sure they know we haven't forgotten them!

Folks we send cards to are from the Black panthers, Black liberation movement, MOVE, Puerto Rican independence movement, eco-activists, and other anti-imperialist activists.
