Bolivar Ramilus and Pierre Labossiere
Mr. Ramilus is a Haitian peasant leader and former member of Parliament from the Fanmi Lavalas Party who has been living in exile in the U.S. since April 2005. Pierre Labossiere is a long-time Haitian activist and a leading voice in the movement to defend democracy in Haiti.

The Haiti Emergency Relief Fund offers humanitarian relief to Haitian grassroots organizations and activists who have been directly impacted by the violence of the coup. Our goal is to sustain these community organizers and victims of repression as they attempt to rebuild their lives and continue political organizing inside and outside the country.
All proceeds benefit the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund. We hope you will give generously.
