Here's an important email we just got:
Petition to Presidential Candidates: Close the School of the Americas
The School of the Americas (SOA), now called the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, provides training by the US military to some of the most violent militias around the world. Soldiers trained at the SOA have been responsible for many human rights abuses, including those directed at workers and labor organizers. The Latin America Solidarity Coalition (LASC) is circulating this petition to Senators Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John McCain. Urge them to take a public stand for the closure of the School of the Americas (SOA/WHINSEC) and to commit to close this notorious institution by executive order if they will be elected.
