*Sign-up! for the trip to Fort Benning, Georgia for the Nov. 18-20 Vigil to Close the School of the Americas (SOA)!

This is the inspiring story about the heroic resistance of Argentinean women to the U.S.-supported fascist dictatorship and the 30-year search for 30,000 of their "disappeared" children.

SOA graduates participated in the Argentinean "Dirty War" 30 years ago. Today, a dirty war is being carried out by the U.S. in Latin America and around the world, using torture, assassination and repression against those struggling for justice and anyone deemed the 'enemy'.

This is why we must Close the SOA (a.k.a., the U.S. Army's "Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation") and all bases where state-sponsored terror is taught!

In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
George Orwell

* Join the campaign to Close the SOA and expose human rights abuses committed by, and on behalf of, the U.S.
