SUMMARY:Seattle FOR Program meeting on School of Americas Watch\, Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Sun March 20\, 6:30 pm\, online \nSeattle Fellowship of Reconciliation program meeting \n“School of the America Watch:\nConfronting Militarism and Building Peace” \nKate Speltz and Candice Camargo with School of the Americas Watch (SOA Watch) will speak about current actions and upcoming activities that SOA Watch is undertaking in solidarity with communities across the Americas in their struggles for justice. Our conversation will focus on our work in the borderlands\, in Central America (particularly Honduras)\, and in Colombia \nSchool of the Americas Watch (SOA Watch) is a nonviolent grassroots movement working to close the SOA / WHINSEC and similar centers that train 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. \nCOVID has affected how we all do our work\, but it hasn’t slowed SOA Watch down.  In 2021 SOA Watch hosted a documentary film festival in collaboration with frontline communities across the Americas defending land and water rights; sent a member of the staff collective to support Honduran movements during their presidential elections; continued to confront the use of civilian targeted warfare by US Border patrol; and organized many virtual gatherings\, including our annual conference and vigil. \nJoin us to hear what is next! \nKate Speltz lives in Seattle where she is with School of the Americas Watch (SOAW) Puget Sound. Kate is honored to be part of the movement and to serve on the national council of SOA Watch. \nCandice Camargo is a member of the SOA Watch staff collective\, currently based in California.  Candice has spent more than a dozen years supporting and accompanying nonviolent grassroots movements demanding social and environmental justice in the Americas. Prior to joining the SOA Watch staff collective she was the Executive Director of FOR Peace Presence and worked with Witness for Peace in Colombia. \nSOAW formed over 40 years ago to protest U.S. military training of Latin American soldiers and militias at the School of the Americas (SOA) at Fort Benning\, Georgia.  Many SOA graduates went on to commit acts of torture and murder.  An annual event was held near the SOA for many years.  More recently\, demonstrations were held at the southern border of the US to protest US immigration policy and mistreatment of asylum seekers. \ninfo 206-789-5565 or https://wwfor.org/calendar/ \nZOOM INFO \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87371368515?pwd=TlVnWllkVExuOFE2elFEaWdOdUVqUT09 \nMeeting ID: 873 7136 8515\nPasscode: 942201\nOne tap mobile\n+12532158782\,\,87371368515#\,\,\,\,*942201# US (Tacoma)\n+16699009128\,\,87371368515#\,\,\,\,*942201# US (San Jose) \nDial by your location\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\nMeeting ID: 873 7136 8515\nPasscode: 942201\nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kcUq3njY7S
