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? 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.
