VIGIL AND NONVIOLENT CIVIL RESISTANCE ACTION;
November 21-23
School of the Americas Watch
Join thousands from across the Americas from
November 21-23, 2003 at the
gates of the U.S. military base Fort Benning in
Georgia - home of the
notorious School of the Americas (renamed Western
Hemisphere Institute for
Security Cooperation) - to stand in Solidarity
with the victims of the
School of Assassins and to speak out against
terror and violence. Engage
in nonviolent direct action to make your voice
heard, to close the
SOA/WHISC, and to change oppressive U.S. foreign
policy.
For over a decade, students, religious, labor,
veterans, human rights, and
social/global justice groups have been converging
every November at the
gates of Fort Benning, GA to speak out in
solidarity with the people of
the Americas and to engage in nonviolent direct
action. We will gather
again this year on November 22 and 23, 2003 and
continue together in the
struggle until the School of the Americas is
closed and the policies it
represents are changed forever. The events this
year will be preceded by
teach-ins, trainings, and caucuses on Friday,
November 21.
The spirit of liberation is rising up in the
people all around the globe.
It cannot be silenced by threats and violence any
more than it can be
contained by prison walls. Our friends who were
prosecuted for their
witness against the SOA in November 2002 will
continue to speak out during
their sentences of prison and probation. We call
on everyone to speak out
against the continuous atrocities perpetrated by
graduates of the
SOA/WHISC throughout Latin America and to come to
Georgia in November.
