Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

10 Arrested at New York Solidarity March for Haiti

HeadlineJan 13, 2011

In New York City, a group of Haitians led a ceremony to honor the earthquake victims. Carline Burton, a U.S. resident of Haitian descent, criticized the international response to the earthquake.

Carline Burton: “I’m here today because, first of all, I’m Haitian, and I am so tired of the devastation in Haiti and the money of the international community not being released to support the Haitians that are still sleeping on the street, not having clean water or sanitation to use in Haiti. I am so tired and I have many family and friends and loved ones that are still living under those conditions.”
