Call to Action Oct 11 National Day of Action against U.S. Militarism in Latin America! WE, peace activists across the country call to support the October 11 National Day of Action against U.S. Militarism across the Latin America. While the US has been raging their endless wars and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan, there’re yet another wars and covert actions across the Latin America has been continue for the past hundred years by the US, and more recently rapidly escalated against the people from Colombia to Honduras. The Obama administration has accelerated the militarization of US relations with Latin America, virtually erasing the goodwill with which Latin Americans welcomed the change of government in Washington. In June the United States signed an agreement with the government of Costa Rica – a pacifist nation that outlawed its army in 1948 –allowing unrestricted access for 7,000 Marines from 46 ships, armed with missiles, 200 helicopters, and other assault weapons; numbers totally disproportionate and inappropriate for official claims that it is to fight the so-called “drug war.” This mobilization follows a basing agreement with Colombia for the use of seven bases; the recognition of a coup government and construction of a new naval base in Honduras; continued expansion of the U.S. military base in Curacao just over the horizon from Venezuela’s oil fields; and the military response to Haiti’s devastating earthquake in January 2010. The goals for the Oct. 11 Day of action are to support, proposed by different Latin American solidarity organizations, include: 1. Cancellation of the threatening and unnecessary US military exercises in Costa Rica 2. Closing the School of the Americas (now Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation) 3. Ending the US military presence on bases in Colombia, Honduras, Guantanamo, and elsewhere in hemisphere. 4. Ending the Merida Initiative and the increased militarization of the US border with Mexico 5. The proposal by Rep. Barney Frank to start reducing the social debt by cutting the US military budget immediately by 25% For more information about the Oct 11th national day of the action, please visit Latin America Solidarity Coalition URL: _http://www.LASolidarity.org_ (http://www.lasolidarity.org/) ============================================================================ == Action LA Network Action for World Liberation Everyday!
