Argentine journalist and WBAI producer Mara Bard will speak about Argentine women during the "Dirty War"

SOA Watch Long Island is pleased to present Argentine journalist and WBAI producer Mara Bard, who will show the film Las Madres:
The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, and give a presentation on the resistance of Argentine women during the U.S.-supported
dictatorship and the 30-year search for 30,000 of their "disappeared" children.

SOA graduates participated in the Argentinian "Dirty War" 30 years ago.  Today, a dirty war is being carried out
by the U.S. and U.S.-supported governments and groups in Latin America and around the world—using torture,
assassination, and repression against those struggling for justice.

The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo Screening
Friday, October 28, 7 to 9 p.m.
St. Mary’s Church
521 W 126th St, Manhattan
Subway: 1 to 125th St

Long Island and NYC say, Not in Our Name!

We are organizing our annual trip to the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (a.k.a. the School of the Americas or SOA).
We will travel to Fort Benning near Columbus, Georgia, from November 18 to 20, 2005, and join the thousands
who gather each year to call attention to the human rights abuses
perpetrated by the graduates of the SOA. For more info, get in touch with the SOA Watch NYC and Long Island contacts. And check SOA Watch’s national website for the schedule of events.

If you can’t join us at the Vigil at the gates of Fort Benning, contact your congressperson
and urge them to sign on to HR 1217, "The Latin America Training Review Act of 2005," which already has 122 cosponsors!
