Suport Group London 



The Haiti Support Group, based in London, United Kingdom, was formed in June

1992. It works to raise awareness in the UK of the struggle for a popular,

participatory democracy in Haiti. The Haiti Support Group publishes a

bi-monthly newsletter, 'Haiti Briefing', distributed to 1,000 members and

supporters, organises visits to the UK by representatives of Haiti's popular

and democratic movement, facilitates links between progressive organisations

in Haiti and the UK, and provides information on Haiti to British politicians,

development aid agencies, journalists and students.



In October 1995 the Haiti Support Group organised the UK visit of Chavannes

Jean-Baptiste, spokesperson for the Papay Peasant Movement (MPP). To coincide

with this visit we also published a book, "After the Dance, the Drum is

Heavy", looking at the US military i ntervention in Haiti. In July 1996 we

organised the UK visit of the two leaders of the Haitian Platform to Advocate

for an Alternative Development (PAPDA).
