El
Salvador is a tiny nation that has
experienced enormous suffering. Yet, it has
also been a light of inspiration to the
world, It is both a tragic example of the
horrific legacy of US militarism, and an
effective model of transforming a grassroots
resistance movement into a successful
democratic political party.
The SOA WATCH movement
was born from inspiration from the martyrs
of El Salvador. The assassinations - at the
hands of SOA graduates - of Monseñor Oscar
Romero, four US churchwomen and six Jesuit
priests and their aides, led Fr. Roy
Bourgeois to launch his tireless struggle to
close the School of the Americas thirty
years ago.
In recent years SOA
WATCH has launched an initiative of Citizen
Diplomacy, leading to the withdrawal of six
nations from the SOA, bringing the doors of
the SOA closer to closing. Join us in asking
the government of El Salvador to follow the
example of dignity and sovereignty set by
their neighbors. Over 70,000 people lost
their lives in the 1980's conflicts, many at
the orders of SOA graduates.
Delegation Fee
The delegation fee
of $1450
covers all meals, lodging (double
occupancy), travel within the country and
translation. It does not cover travel to and
