Converge on Fort Benning! November 22-24
November 22, 2013 to November 24, 2013
We're heading to Fort Benning, Georgia, from November 22-24 to keep up the pressure to close the School of the Americas (SOA/WHINSEC). We carry with us the strength of social movements in Latin America who are turning their back on the SOA. We won't stop!
Will you join us? Read about why we mobilize.

Thousands will gather at the gates, with speakers, music, street theater, workshops and networking with people from across the Americas. We come together at the gates of Fort Benning - where the killers are trained - to demand an end to US militarization and to impunity. The Vigil weekend is your opportunity to connect your communities with those across the hemisphere who are resisting Empire. In addition to the main funeral procession on Sunday, November 24, we will again have rallies, songs of resistance, 70 + workshops, and more.
And this year, on Friday, November 22, we will once again kick off the weekend joining our sisters and brothers to demand the closure of private detention prisons, like the Stewart Detention Center, and to highlight the connection between militarization and forced migration. Come early!
Venue: Fort Benning, Georgia
