Benning, > Georgia. > > In 1990 SOA Watch began in a tiny apartment outside the main gate of Ft. > Benning. While starting with a small group, SOA Watch quickly drew upon > the knowledge and experience of many in the U.S. who had worked with the > people of Latin America in the 1970's and 80's. > > Today, the SOA Watch movement is a large, diverse, grassroots movement > rooted in solidarity with the people of Latin America. The goal of SOA > Watch is to close the SOA and to change U.S. foreign policy in Latin > America by educating the public, lobbying Congress and participating in > creative, nonviolent resistance. The Pentagon has responded to the > growing movement and Congress' near closure of the SOA with a PR > campaign to give the SOA a new image. In an attempt to disassociate the > school with its horrific past, the SOA was renamed the Western > Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation in January of 2001. > > Mission Statement > > SOA Watch is a nonviolent grassroots movement that works to stand in > solidarity with the people of Latin America, to close the SOA/WHINSEC > and to change oppressive U.S. foreign policy that the SOA represents.
