Tell your Representative to Support the Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act (HR2643, S1854)
The humanitarian situation in Haiti continues to worsen as its people suffer from a crisis of gang violence and hunger, fueled by weapons and ammunition trafficked from the US. The flow of illegal weapons not only allows gangs to terrorize communities, but undermines stabilization efforts in Haiti such as long-term governance solutions and security reforms. Cutting off the financing for arms dealing in Haiti is crucial because it deprives gangs of the weapons they use to decimate communities and and commit atrocious crimes against humanity.
Join us in taking action to curtail the power of Haiti’s gangs by urging your representative to support the Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act which directs sanctions at Haiti's political and economic elites who finance gangs and profit from gang violence.
Thanks to bipartisan support, this bill has a strong chance of passing in both the House and Senate.
