School of the Americas

After years of protests, the Pentagon has changed the name of the School of the Americas to the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation. It will now be run directly by the pentagon instead of the Army. But the mission of training Latin American soldiers to preserve stability in that region for our corporate investments remains the same.

A resolution to close the US Army School of the Americas has been introduced in the Wisconsin State Assembly by Representative Mark Pocan. It is being introduced in the State Senate by Senator Brian Burke. These legislators need our support! Please call your own state assembly person and state senator and ask them to sign onto these resolutions.
