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.

In related news, over 40 Haitian gang leaders, police and officials were charged last week over the November 2018 massacre in Port-au-Prince, which killed dozens of civilians. The police officers involved had been working with a U.N. mission. One of those charged on Thursday was notorious officer turned gang leader Jimmy “Barbecue” Chérizier, who is accused of financing the operation.
