The “Hands Off Haiti” compilation album is a project of the Canada Haiti Action Network (CHAN), a grassroots group of activists based in most provinces across Canada that have actively been involved in Haiti solidarity work since 2004.

Funds raised from sales of the “Hands Off Haiti” compilation album go directly to the Haitian-based grassroots organizations and efforts including the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund, Partners in Health and the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti.

CHAN supports the list of principles outlined at the international Kongres Bwa Kayiman (KBK) conference of February, 2005, in which Haiti solidarity activists from various countries reiterated their support for Haitian democracy.

Press for Conversion is a journal edited by Richard Sanders and published by the Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade (COAT).

Four issues are exclusively devoted to Canada’s role in Haiti; three of these focus on the role of the Canadian International Development Agency and the non-governmental organizations it funds. CIDA and certain NGOs are partners in the international gang-up against the sovereignty and democratic will of the Haitian people.

September 24, 2010. The Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti has just produced a 48 page report on the conditions of survivors of the January 12 earthquake. Some of its findings are based on a comprehensive survery of 52 families in six internally displaced persons (IDP) camps in the Port au Prince region. The report also outlines the legal and humanitarian obligations of the Haitian government and donor countries and agencies. The report says there are 1.3 million people living in 1,300 makeshift IDP camps in and around Port au Prince .
