“Join Us in Calling On The U.S. Government to 

Stop Illegal Arms To Haiti” 

This is a special edition to inform our listeners to a webinar, plus our own opinions about the disastrous policies that are causing the dear Haitian people to seek safety and work in a place they "thought" could give them those dreams for themselves and their families, all driven by the senseless destruction by heavy, sophisticated automatic weapons manufactured in the United States and primarily smuggled from Florida! Listen to learn how you can also participate in pressuring congress through your own representatives to promote more logical and just legislation to put into real law and practice. 

Here are links to learn more for this advocacy that will be happening in DC on Sept 25th and 26th as well as a shout out to Welele (see his episode to know more), for his drumming tracks he so graciously gave me!

Here's contact for one of the sponsoring organizations for the advocacy days you can contact for more info of how to get involved: Quixote Center, P.O Box 1950, Greenbelt, MD 20768 301-699-0042 www.quixote.org

The English translation of our theme song "N a Sonje" by Mona Augustin performed by our band "2 Roots or 2 Rasin":

"We will remember, and not forget what happened

Let’s take a look back Into the world gone by and we’ll see

How our ancestors were in Africa before they carried us away to America

Ref: Sing for Africa, Sing for America Honor for Africa, Honor for America

Who lost so many in the years long ago it wasn’t the natives of this land that did that to them

It was another nation who had as their mission to make others slaves, making so many cadavers

Pillaging, killing - Indians and Africans in making them work for nothing

This is how their countries became powerful by spilling so much blood.
