October 7-10: SOA Watch Encuentro at the Border

After holding an annual vigil at the gates of Fort Benning, Georgia, the human rights group SOA Watch is moving its convergence to become bi-national at the U.S./Mexico border in Nogales, Arizona/ Sonora Mexico.

Activists throughout the U.S. and Mexico will gather on both sides of the US/Mexico border from October 7-10, 2016, in the lead-up to the November elections. Our goal is to

· Highlight US intervention in Latin America as one of the root causes of migration
· Stage protests, cultural events, and nonviolent direct action against racism, xenophobia and US militarization at home and abroad.

To make the Convergence at the Border a success, we need you to mobilize your communities to take a stand for justice and against militarization from October 7-10, 2016 at the border wall in Nogales, Sonora / Arizona.
