Converge on Fort Benning, Georgia: November 18-20, 2005
3 Days of Remembrance & Resistance to Close the SOA!

For more information about the November Mobilization Information visit:
www.SOAW.org

On November 18-20, 2005 we will gather at Fort Benning, Georgia -- one of
the largest military bases in the world and home of the notorious School
of the Americas (SOA/ WHINSEC) -- to confront injustice, to speak out for
truth and to change oppressive US foreign policy.

The SOA has trained over 60,000 Latin American soldiers in
counterinsurgency techniques, sniper training, commando and psychological
warfare, military intelligence and interrogation tactics. Just after the
Zapatista uprising began on January 1, 1994, the number of Mexican
soldiers at the School of the Americas (SOA) escalated sharply. Graduates
of the SOA have played a key role in the civilian targeted warfare. At
least 18 top military officials involved in the conflict are SOA
graduates.

Throughout Latin America, SOA graduates have consistently used their
skills to wage a war against the poor and to maintain a racist system of
greed and violence. Among those targeted are educators, union organizers,
religious workers, student leaders, and others who work for the rights of
the poor. Hundreds of thousands of Latin Americans have been tortured,
raped, assassinated, "disappeared," massacred, and forced into refugee by
those trained at the School of Assassins.

We are in a period of great change. Social justice movements throughout
the Americas are mobilizing tirelessly. Civil Society is increasingly more
vocal and we are going to close this school that continues to create death
and suffering. Justice is within our reach when we stand up in numbers too
big to be ignored -- sending a powerful message by putting our bodies on
the line.

Zapatista strategies of organization and outreach provide an inspiring
example of radical social empowerment and movement building for grassroots
organizers, community leaders, and activists worldwide. The ¡Enough is
Enough! Project / Proyecto ¡Ya Basta! aims to spread the Zapatista
approach in North-American activist circles. Be active in the creation of
alternatives to a world where so many are exploited for the lifestyle of a
few. The future is unwritten… still!
