E C <elisa...@yahoo.com>: Nov 02 07:48PM ----- Mensaje reenviado ----- De: "'Azadeh N. Shahshahani' shahshah...@gmail.com [HumanRightsAtlanta]" <HumanRightsAt...@yahoogroups.com> Para: Human Rights Atlanta <humanrigh...@yahoogroups.com> Enviado: Sábado, 31 de octubre, 2015 9:36:50 Asunto: [HumanRightsAtlanta] Fw: November 20-22: Converge at the Gates of Ft. Benning! Your Participation Counts!   | From: SOA Watch <maria...@soaw.org>Sent: Saturday, October 31, 2015 9:02 AM |     | | Just last week, the U.S. State Department announced that it would cut $5 million in security aid to Mexico in response to its appalling Human Rights record. The withdrawal of some aid - though not enough to put a definitive end to the failed Drug War - is a victory for the people who have been clamoring for justice and calling for an end to U.S. military aid and training to Mexico. We will continue to demand an end to the Drug War and accountability as the U.S. continues to train and fund Mexican military and police through the Merida Initiative. This November 20-22, join us in Columbus, Georgia for one of the largest hemisphere-wide anti-militarism convergences. This year marks the 25th Anniversary of our Vigil, and our movement, which began on the anniversary of the November 16, 1989 SOA graduate-led massacre of Elba and Celina Ramos and six Jesuit priests at the University of Central America in El Salvador. From Richland County, South Carolina to Ayotzinapa, Mexico, we continue to see the effects of failed U.S. policy and militarization. We must continue to denounce the militarization of police forces across the Americas and call for an end of state-sponsored terrorism and imminent violence against our communities, both at home and abroad. In less than three weeks, thousands - Human Rights activists, torture survivors, union workers, veterans, migrants, faith communities, students and educators - will converge at the gates of Fort Benning and Stewart Detention Center once again to demand a fundamental shift in U.S. foreign policy, and call for the closure of both the School of the Americas and Stewart Detention Center. It's not too late to make travel plans! For questions about mobilizing yourself and others please contact us at 202-234-3440202-234-3440. This year's November Vigil weekend will include: - 50+ workshops, trainings, teach-ins and film screenings at the Columbus Convention Center - Friday night welcome plenary and Saturday night concert with music by Aaron Fowler and Laura Dungan, Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls, Charlie King, Colleen Kattau, Emma's Revolution, Fransisco Herrera, Kuumba Lynx Performance Ensemble, Olmeca, Omari, and Rebel Diaz. - Featured speakers from across Latin America and the U.S., including Nadín Reyes Maldonado, Homies Unidos, Tawana Honeycomb Petty, Pablo Ruiz Espinoza, and Father Roy Bourgeois - rally, march and vigil to #ShutDownStewart - Puppetista pageant and street theatre to celebrate our resistance - Nonviolent Direct Action and Civil Disobedience - Sunday vigil and solemn funeral procession to commemorate the martyrs  Join us in our resistance. Let's imagine and create the world we want to see for all of us. Join us as we learn about the struggles our brothers and sisters are facing across the Americas. As we learn and listen, let's connect our struggles and continue to grow our movement. que todos se levanten, que nadie se quede atrás, (may all rise up, may no one be left behind) Ana, Arturo, Brigitte, Carl, Eva Alejandra, Hendrik, Jonathan, Karolina, Kat, María Luisa & Pablo Looking for ways to get involved? We Need Peacemakers! - This year, committed peacemakers are needed more than ever as they guide Saturday's march to Stewart Detention Center and the Sunday vigil procession at the gates of Fort Benning. We encourage someone from your delegation to serve as a peacemaker during the rally and vigil. Contact Kathleen or Liz for more information. - We are also calling on media activists to do livestreaming to support the media & communications collective throughout the weekend! - Also, don't forget to sign up to Volunteer at the Vigil! Throughout the course of the weekend, over 100 volunteers will contribute a few hours of their time to make the Vigil possible.
