Today on Sojourner Truth:

Haiti is yet again in revolt with tens of thousands of protesters across hitting the streets on Sunday, June 9,, followed by general strikes on Monday, June 10, and Tuesday, June 11. Several protesters were killed and many others injured. Protesters are continuing their demand that the U.S.-backed President of Haiti, Jovenel Moise, step down. His government, along with the two previous administrations, have been implicated in an official report about the disappearance of over $4 billion dollars from Venezuela that was meant to assist the Haitian people. A journalist covering the corruption scandal was killed in a targeted assassination. Additionally, a series of brutal massacres and targeted assassinations have affected communities opposed to Moise, as well as community leaders. The massacres have been the largest since the days of the brutal Duvalierist dictatorship. The U.S. has warned against traveling to Haiti. We speak with journalist and Haiti expert Kevin Pina.

In Los Angeles, four people were killed by police on the same day. Whats going on? For our Campaigners for Black Lives series, our guest is Joseph Williams, a campaigner with Black Lives Matter Los Angeles.

Laura Carlsen joins us to give reaction to the deal between the Trump administration and Mexico to crack down on migrants passing through Mexico to reach the U.S. border.

Also, an update on the uprising in the Sudan. Our guest is Khalid Mustafa Medani.

Today on Sojourner Truth:

We return to our in-depth coverage of the ongoing crisis in Haiti. An official report issued last week implicated Haiti's U.S.-backed president, Jovenel Moise, as participating in the disappearance of billions of PetroCaribe money from Venezuela, meant for use for the Haitian people.

Since he became president, resulting from questionable elections reported to be fraudulent, the movement for democracy in Haiti has been pressing in massive nationwide protests for Moise to step down. The Haitian government responded to the protests by encouraging or downright supporting massacres targeting grassroots leaders and communities that initiated protests and have historically been a stronghold of resistance. These include the massacres we have reported on via Sojourner Truth in La Saline.

In a five-week period, I made two trips as part of emergency delegations to Haiti to get testimonies from communities under attack, as well as to send a message to the Haitian government that we intend to get the truth out as widely as we can about what's going on.

While in Haiti, I interviewed Pasha Vorbe, a member of the executive council of Fanmi Lavalas, the political organization headed by former President Jean Bertrand Aristide and supported by the vast majority of impoverished in Haiti. Today, we bring you that conversation.
