Close the School of the Americas and Change Oppressive U.S. Foreign Policy

Close the SOA and Change Oppressive U.S. Foreign Policy
Nov. 17-19, 2006 - Converge on Fort Benning, Georgia

People's Movements across the Americas are becoming increasingly more powerful. Military "solutions" to social problems as supported by institutions like the School of the Americas were unable to squash their voices, and the call for justice and accountability is getting louder each day.

Add your voice to the chorus, demand justice for all the people of the Americas and engage in nonviolent direct action to close the SOA and change oppressive U.S. foreign policy.

With former SOA graduates being unmasked in Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Paraguay, Honduras, and Peru for their crimes against humanity, and with the blatant similarities between the interrogation methods and torture methods used at Abu Ghraib and those described in human rights abuse cases in Latin America, the SOA/WHINSEC must be held accountable!
