Dear SOA Watch-LA Friends,
Join Us in Meeting Arturo Viscarra of SOA Watch, Washington DC www.soaw.org Tuesday, April 23rd, 6:30 PM at Chichen-Itza Restaurant at Mercado La Paloma 3655 S Grand Avenue, Los Angeles 90007 www.chichenitzarestaurant.com SOA Watch Advocacy Coordinator, Arturo Viscarra, will be in L.A. next week and we're hoping you'll be able to meet with him over dinner at Chichen-Itza Restaurant at Mercado La Paloma on Tuesday, April 23rd. Although Arturo is in charge of the legislative work, he would also like to talk with us about the SOA Watch movement in a more general sense. Please let me know if you can be with us next Tuesday night. Best, Sandra Sunshine Williams: [email protected] *Compa Maria Guardado will be joining us! Arturo J. Viscarra - Advocacy Coordinator Arturo was born in El Salvador, but was forced to leave with his family due to the civil war. His family lived in Guatemala and Colombia before permanently resettling in the U.S. He studied International Relations at the University of Delaware before obtaining a Master's in International Relations and a Juris Doctor from Boston University. He has spent the last 5 years practicing immigration law, which has allowed him to better understand the root causes that make Central Americans emigrate to the U.S. - principally the disastrous US-sponsored military and economic policies. The SOA graduate-led Honduran coup of 2009 outraged and inspired Arturo to transform from an observer into an activist.
