Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine was kidnapped in Haiti and has been disappeared since
August 12th. There is an international call for actions pressing for his safe
return. In Southern California, we are making an urgent call for people who
will join Danny Glover & others to participate in a rolling fast asking for his
safe return to his family and community who love and need him. Lovinsky
Pierre-Antoine is an extraordinary grassroots organizer and a leading advocate
for the poor, including street children, teenage mothers and victims of
torture.
uWhat is a rolling fast? A rolling fast allows people to commit to fast for a
number of hours during a 24 hour period. You can participate by either fasting
for the entire time or commit to a certain number of hours. The idea is that
fasters will overlap in order to cover the 24 hour period, starting at 10:30 am
November 13th.
u What if I want to fast but cant get to the fast site between 10:30am & 1pm?
Fill out the information below and email or fax it if you choose, your name
can be included in the bring Lovinsky home fasters list which will be read at
the press event and speakout outside the Brazilian Consulate. All fasters on
or off site are asked to wear a red ribbon to indicate you are fasting for
Lovinskys safe return. Please let others know why youre wearing it.
u What if I cant fast, what can I do? Come out to the Consulate -- support
the call for Lovinskys release and support the fasters. Wear a red ribbon on
fast day and sign the petition.
u How do I sign up to take part in the rolling fast? Fill out the information
below on your commitment to fast and email or fax it in. If you can come to
initiate the fast outside the Consulate at 10:30 please let us know and also
how long you will be able to stay.u Why hold the fast outside the Brazilian
Consulate? The Brazilian government heads the UN forces who have had the
responsibility for law and order in Haiti since President Aristide was forced
to leave Haiti in 2004. The US and Canada are also key figures. Together we
are urging them to do all in their power, including making resources available
to ensure Lovinskys immediate and safe release.uWhether or not you can
participate in the fast please sign the online petition at
http://www.petitiononline.com/august/petition.html. Also please share the
petition information with as many people as you can. u Can my organization
