Join us in Georgia from November 19-21 to remember the victims and to celebrate the resistance! (para información en español, haga click aquí) Thirty years have passed since Maryknoll missioners Maura Clark, Jean Donovan, Ita Ford, and Dorothy Kazel were brutally killed by graduates of the SOA in El Salvador. They are four among thousands of victims and survivors of the ongoing SOA / WHINSEC violence. In 2009, SOA graduates overthrew the democratically elected government of Honduras and unleashed brutal repression against the pro-democracy resistance. This year saw the release of a human rights report that links SOA graduates to extrajudicial killings in Colombia. Enough is enough! Shut it down! From November 19-21, 2010, thousands will gather at the gates of Fort Benning to stand up for justice, to shut down the School of the Americas and to end the oppressive U.S. foreign policy that the school represents. We invite you to join us this November as we remember, in solemnity, the victims, and as we grow stronger than ever before in our resistance. November Vigil Schedule of Events (Preliminary) – Cronograma Preliminar de Actividades Please join in on Nonviolence Trainings Friday morning and afternoon. The practice of nonviolent direct action is an essential part of the movement to close the School of Americas and it is only successful if we are constantly practicing and improving our nonviolent pressure. Organizing Packet (Paquete Organizativo) Organizing a group to come to Georgia may seem intimidating, but the organizing packet can make it a lot easier! Use this packet as a guide and feel free to contact info[at]soaw.org to request a paper copy of the packet. Workshops are a vital part of the Vigil weekend.
