Nov 18-20: Close the SOA! Converge on Ft Benning


Dear Friends in the Struggle for Justice,

Tens of thousands of people raised their voices for justice in the streets
of Argentina last week as President Bush met with Latin American leaders.
Bush's visit to Central and South America was marked by strong opposition
to his administration's policies of militarization in Iraq and around the
world, by another stumbling block in his free-trade plans for the
hemisphere and by persistent questions of the U.S.'s use of torture.

In our own country, in Latin America and around the world, there is a
growing cry for an end to failed attempts at solving social and political
problems through military violence. NEXT WEEKEND, OUR URGENT CALL TO CLOSE
THE SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS MUST BE AS CLEAR AND STRONG AS EVER. On
November 18-20, we will raise our voices with people throughout the
Americas to declare that a better world is possible, a world free of
repression, racism and torture.

In case you have not already made plans to be there, WE WANT TO ENOURAGE
YOU TO JOIN US AT THE GATES OF FORT BENNING, GEORGIA THE WEEKEND OF
NOVEMBER 18-20. You do not want to miss this crucial event. With a vote in
Congress on closing the SOA coming up next summer, we know that this
year's Vigil is critical. For that reason, Rep. Jim McGovern,
Congressional author of HR 1217, will join us in Georgia next weekend to
call for justice.

Thousands of you are preparing to join us at Fort Benning, home of the
School of the Americas. But don't come alone. THIS NEXT WEEK IS THE TIME
WHEN MANY PEOPLE WILL MAKE A LAST-MINUTE DECISION TO ATTEND THE VIGIL.
Take time today to contact someone you know who is considering attending,
and urge them to stand for justice next weekend. FORWARD THIS EMAIL to
your friends, co-workers, neighbors and family.

Visit the SOA Watch website at http://www.SOAW.org for details about the
weekend's schedule of events, and for information about accessibility and
interpretation, housing, travel and more.

THERE IS ONE MORE WAY THAT YOUR HELP IS NEEDED. For this Vigil to reach
the potential of what can be a history-making event, SOA Watch needs your
financial support. Please take a moment right now to make the largest
donation you can. Every dollar is needed and helps us to cover Vigil
expenses. Visit http://www.soaw.org/new/article.php?id=546 for more info.
Thank you!

Throughout the country, people continue to learn the truth about the
School of the Americas every day thanks to you. Building together, we will
continue to spread the word. Working together, we will close the School of
the Americas, once and for all, and we will put an end to racist systems
of military violence and domination.

See you in Georgia,
The SOA Watch Staff
