As a grassroots movement, there are communities organizing around the work of SOA Watch, as well as local social justice struggles across the Americas. Below is a list of (mostly) US-based communities organizing to attend the Convergence this November.

If you are interested in attending this year’s Convergence, or would like more information about connecting to the work of SOA Watch locally, please reach out! We look forward to hearing from you and meeting you!
