An inter-seminary coalition is currently making plans to attend the annual vigil at Ft. Benning, GA (WHINSEC/SOA) to protest the on-going training of Latin American military and police units that have been tied to widespread human rights abuses. If you have interest in attending this year's vigil, which will be held on November 15-18 of this year, please contact me as soon as possible so we can make the necessary arrangements for travel and lodging.* There may be funds available through your student government or other organization to help finance the costs.
Students that have gone in the past have found this to be a very meaningful experience and an important part of their educational experience, so I hope that you will consider making the effort to go. If you are unfamiliar with this issues surrounding WHINSEC, please visit the SOA Watch website at www.soaw.org or contact me at 773-908-7262.
*Those with interest in going, please reply to this message and indicate your commitment level at this point in time. I would like to know by the beginning of reading week approximately how many people are thinking about going so we can book the appropriate number of motel rooms. Again, with any questions, please contact me.
