Haiti Disaster Relief: A Fundraiser @ The Rio Cinema 6th February

 

Please join us for a special screening of A Charmed Life - a documentary examining the life and times of London resident Eddie Martin Noble (1917-2007). The film gives a historical perspective to the issues around colonisation of the Caribbean. Racism, the colour bar and racial inequality equality in post-war Britain are also covered in this comprehensive analysis of the life of the man that inspired the best-selling novel Small Island by Andrea Levy.

I think members of the list will accept that we are in exceptional circumstances and will hopefully join me and others from the Health Equity Network (which is where I got this from) in signing up! If Alex Scott Samuel - a respected public health professional, reckons this is a priority, who am I to disagree?

Only now is the true scale of the disaster emerging. Reports now 
suggest as many as 50,000 people may have died, with hundreds of 
thousands made homeless.

The work ahead to recover from this tragedy is immense. So here's our 
goal: $890 million for Haiti. That’s how much Haiti owes to the 
International Monetary Fund, the Inter-American Development Bank, and 
a handful of others.

Sign the petition below to ask Haiti's creditors to act quickly and 
cancel Haiti's debts:

As Haiti begins to rebuild we can help by lifting this debt.
