Preparations are in full gear to ensure a successful ‘Dominican Diaspora Solidarity Walk for Peace and Prosperity on Saturday, April 9, 2022.
The walk is aligned to a similar activity organized by Atherton ‘Athie’ Martin for the past two weeks and will take place in New York City.
“So far the response has been good and we are hoping that people in the diaspora come out tomorrow,” a concerned Dominican citizen residing in New York, Adelaide Paul said during an interview on Q95. “We are also asking you wherever you are in the diaspora you can join us in New York.”
Paul indicated that a number of people have agreed to walk wherever they are.
“We are just calling on everyone to walk in solidarity and let us spread the word,” Paul encouraged. “That is to just keep people going, because we say we talk a lot, let us do less talk, more walk, more action.”
She called for freedom, justice and peace which she said is really needed in Dominica, “transparency in governance, the very same things they are asking for in Dominica.”
“So we are walking in solidarity to ask for the very same things,” Paul stated. “Without justice there is no peace and no prosperity.”
The group will gather at Ralph Bunche Park in New York, next to the UN Headquarters, and walk to the Dominican Consulate from 11:00am to 1:00pm. There will also be speeches from some of the participants.
IBO you will never get the majority of Dominicans following these UWP mongrels.Thousands of Dominicans visit Dominica from the diaspora every year they know and can see what is happening in Dominica.UWP and their supporters said Skerrit is always winning election because of overseas voters,yet they are telling the same overseas voters march for peace,justice and prosperity in Dominica.What a bunch of ahole.It is a fact that the vast majority of Dominicans living in New York support Skerrit and the DLP.I met a Dominican in New York,he was about 70 and living in an apartment with 4 other people,paying $150 weekly.There was one washroom,kitchen,stove,and fridge for all five to use.He went on to tell me he had a house and land in Portsmouth.Two years later he was evicted ,on cleaning his room it was infested with rats and bedbugs.He died in poverty ,a homeless man and a double amputee in the USA.Those marching are failures,just take a look at the crowd.
I hope most Dominicans in NY show up in sizable numbers and lay bare before the world the ubiquitous corrupt practices of the Skerrit-led administration, the massive unemployment and widespread poverty, and the general putrid and wretched state of affairs in the country.
Let the world know that this once peaceful, democratic, tiny country has signed diplomatic relationships with the worst dictatorial and brutal regimes ever known to mankind;- Russia, China and very recently Syria, the Motherland of Terrorism.
