 A CALL TO ACTION IN CORAL GABLES

The Haitian-American Grassroots Coalition and member organizations
are pleased to invite you to a rally to protest against President
George W. Bush in Coral Gables, Florida while attending a fundraising
event.

The event will be held:

Monday, May 20th, 2002
4:30 P.M
50 Casuarina Councourse - Coral Gables

Since December 3rd, 2001, the Bush Administration has implemented a
new policy which has directed the Justice DEpartment to incarcerate
indefinitely Haitian Refugees.  Currently, over 200 Haitian Refugees
are put in detention in several jail facilities in Miami.
Congressional leaders, AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, UNHCR, Barry University
and countless other organizations have chastised the Administration
for its arbitrary detention policy vis-a-vis Haitian Asylum Seekers
and have requested their immediate release.  So far, the President
has remained silent on the issue.

Partial list of sponsors:

Haitian Women of Miami (FANM), VEYE-YO, SEIU-1199, AFL-CIO, Brothers
of the Same Mind, NCHR, Guatemalan American Association, GUI,
Brothers to the rescue, Pan-American Coalition, Women Alliance of
Dade and Broward, HAYOT, Unite for Dignity, Justice Coalition, HACAD
and ACLU.
