HOW YOU CAN HELP

1) Donate to Batay Ouvriye

The Rapid Response Network facilitates donations to Batay Ouvriye. 100% of your donation will go to Batay Ouvriye to help support workers and peasants as they fight to continue their work in the face of chaos including increased gang violence, political instability following the assassination of corrupt president Jovenel Moise, and land grabbing from peasants.

The RRN is not a 501(c)3, so your donation is not tax deductible, but it will go a very long way to support these vulnerable workers in their organizing efforts.

2) Sign up for RRN Updates

Since 2012, Rapid Response Network has been a pipeline to share news of the struggles in Haiti with people who care. Updates on campaigns, calls for solidarity, and news of Batay Ouvriye are shared here.
