Help Haiti...
The harrowing images and stories coming out of Haiti are devastating to watch. The scale of this tragedy is heartbreaking. Times like this reminds us of our common humanity and the need to do all we can to help...
Haiti owes $890 million to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and a handful of others. As Haiti rebuilds from this disaster, please work to secure the immediate cancellation of Haiti’s $890 million debt and ensure that any emergency earthquake assistance is provided in the form of grants, not debt-incurring loans.
Sign the petition to ask Haiti’s creditors to act quickly and cancel Haiti’s debts.
