SOA Watch at the US Social Forum

Dear David,

Will you be there?

This June 22-26, over 10,000 organizers and activists from around the country will gather in Detroit, Michigan for the US Social Forum.

SOA Watch activists from across the country will be at the Forum, along with many of our partner organizations, and we'd love to see you there. Let us know you're coming and if you are up for helping to get the word out about the School of the Americas and the upcoming November Vigil at the US Social Forum! Drop us an email at hvoss (at) soaw.org when you have a minute.

While the US Social Forum (USSF) is taking place in Detroit; a group of anti-militarization activists and human rights defenders from across the Americas* will be gathering to strategize in Venezuela at the SOA Watch Encuentro. The dates of the SOA Watch Encuentro were chosen to coincide with the USSF in order to connect the two historic events via a live video link. The connection is going to take place on Wednesday, June 23 during the Peoples' Movement Assembly of the Latin America Solidarity Coalition (1:00pm - 5:00pm, Cobo Hall: D3-19) and on Thursday, June 24 during the SOA Watch workshops (10am - 12noon, Cobo Hall: D3-16 and 3:00pm - 5:00pm, Cobo Hall: DO-03D). The US Social Forum - Encuentro connection will strengthen the bond between peoples movements in the South and the North.

As organizers, we can use the social forum as a space to learn from each other's experiences and struggles, share our analysis, build relationships and align with people around the globe to strategize about how to reclaim our world.
