Protecting the rights of property owners in Mocha Arcadia

Jan 13, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

IDPADA-G has continued to meet with affected families in Mocha Arcadia since our initial visit to the site, last Wednesday, January 4 to determine a path forward that ensures this inhumane attack on their property rights is addressed, and these horrific injustices confronted.

IDPADA-G member organizations and the wider African Guyanese family are united in the pain we feel in seeing our brothers and sisters, children and elderly disrespected and discarded with such inhumanity.  We will fight together to restore what is theirs and heighten our vigilance to protect African Guyanese property owners.

To this end, IDPADA-G, has brought all of the nine affected families together and has identified a team of lawyers and other experts to provide the assistance needed in this fight for justice. The Mocha Arcadia families have coalesced and as a group will engage in the upcoming negotiations with government represented by a team of experts organized by IDPADA-G.

Please donate to these families through Friends of IDPADA-G. We call on all Guyanese of good conscience in Guyana and across the diaspora, to support them, as they still suffer the shock of dislocation and tremendous loss. In spite of years of hard work and saving to build their homes and businesses, these families are now homeless, some have lost their  livestock – their source of family income.  Community members and relatives have generously opened their homes to shelter them.  Your donation will help meet their immediate needs for clothing, food, medicine, legal representation and other expenses. Please contribute generously.

Friends of IDPADA-G is a non-profit organization registered in the state of Maryland.  All donations are tax deductible.  Please click here to donate or visit IDPADA-G on Facebook to find the Friends of IDPADA-G link.

Friends of IDPADA-G will provide full accounting for all donations and acknowledgement of receipt of donations for the purpose of tax deductions.

Regards,

Olive Cannings Sampson

Chief Executive Officer

International Decade for People of African Descent Assembly – Guyana (IDPADA-G)
