"Given what we have learned from Hurricane Katrina and the disasters of war, occupation, neoliberal economic dominance, and neglect that continue to plague and pathologize many of our families and friends internationally, we would like to use this time to organize an effective and accountable response during this interim phase of the crisis. Right now, we are exploring if we can activate the following plan: Identify a contact with at least one specific local women's organization/network in Haiti
Help mobilize the INCITE! network to organize a response and provide specific resources identified by women in Haiti
Work through INCITE! to sustain a productive and intentional transnational relationship with women in Haiti - this would be our long term solidarity work We are talking with Zeina and Erika from Global Fund for Women..."
