I'm sure everyone has been glued to their screens keeping up with the news in Haiti. I beg you all to STOP! Mainstream media is portraying my people as perpetual victims as always. They are portraying the U.S. presence there as positive when in actuality it is becoming an occupation. Please, if you want news on Haiti watch Democracy Now. All the food, money and supplies you have been sending through organizations is NOT getting through the airport. The U.S. has taken control of the airport and is not letting through the supplies that people desperately need. If you can, please donate your money DIRECTLY to a family in need. It doesn't have to mine. I'm sure we are all a couple degrees away from somebody who has family in Haiti (especially in NYC).
