HURAH – Human Rights Accompaniment in Haiti – is now an informal group of Americans dedicated to serving the most disenfranchised citizens of Haiti as they pursue their basic human rights under the law in a non-violent, non-partisan manner. Formerly it was a corporation with tax exempt status and worked from 2005-2010 with funding aid and accompaniment to Haitian grassroots and the legal assistance group AUMOHD. We maintain a non-violent philosophy and will support efforts at violence reduction. We hold a non-partisan status but will advocate for policies–not politicians or ideologies– that promote human rights.
“The soul force of the people putting their lives, non-violently on the line for justice and the democratic rule of just law is the kind of work that we want to do in collaboration with the most disenfranchised people of Haiti. We do so intentionally as a U.S. based agency seeking to counteract the negative impact of the US government on Haiti in the past. We search for funding from like minded people and organizations, private and public. We recruit volunteers to go and be with the seekers of justice on the ground in Haiti.” Thomas Luce, President, HURAH
HURAH is headquartered in Berkeley, CA.
