Join the Colombia Action Network at the School of the Americas Demonstration!
Help us shut down the School of the Americas (SOA) this November! The SOA is a U.S. tax payer funded combat training school for Latin American soldiers, located at Fort Benning, Georgia. Frequently called the "School of Assassins," its graduates have left a trail of terror and suffering in every country where its graduates have returned.
