Compas!
We're almost there! This week, people from all over the country will be arriving in Columbus, Georgia, for a weekend of protest, networking, healing and celebration. While SOA grads in countries like Honduras continue to oppress, threaten and kill with their money and their bullets, we continue the creation of a new world, through sharing ideas, strategies, laughs, puppets and memory.
Over the years, the workshops presented during the Vigil have made it a great space to learn more about the issues that face us and the alternatives that we are creating. The conference is a big part of the Vigil, so we hope that you don't miss it! All workshops take place at the Columbus Convention Center (801 Front Ave) on Friday and Saturday evenings. Here are a few workshops that will happen:
SOA Watch Plenary. This is the place to be to kick off the weekend! Hear about what's happened during the year and stay for the celebration of countries! Saturday, November 17, 9-10:30am, Ballroom C
