Operational Summary:
Since the devastating earthquake in Port-au-Prince, the Solidarity Center has acted quickly to send support to its Haitian partners through a union-to-union effort that provides short-term emergency aid and builds toward long-term reconstruction and strengthening of Haiti’s labor movement. Donations to the Solidarity Center’s Earthquake Relief for Haitian Workers Fund have enabled us to purchase and transport regular truckloads of food, water, first aid supplies, medicine, and other critical items. The Solidarity Center has joined with Dominican unions to respond to specific requests of Haitian unions as they make progress in relocating members, better assessing needs, and move toward just reconstruction.
