School of the Americas Watch is a nonviolent grassroots movement working to close the SOA / WHINSEC and similar centers that train state actors such as military, law enforcement and border patrol. We strive to expose, denounce, and end US militarization, oppressive US policies and other forms of state violence in the Americas.  We act in solidarity with organizations and movements working for justice and peace throughout the Americas.

Our demands:

• An end to US economic, military and political intervention in Latin America
• Demilitarization and divestment of the borders
• An end to the racist systems of oppression that criminalize and kill migrants, refugees and communities of color
• Respect, dignity, justice and the right to self-determination of communities
• An end to Plan Mérida and the Alliance for Prosperity

Join thousands at SOA Watch’s 25th anniversary Vigil at the gates of Fort Benning, Georgia, where we will remember the martyrs and denounce continued SOA violence against our brothers and sisters in Latin America. For all the key info see this.
