 For
Chile, September 11th has a very different meaning. On
that date in 1973, General Augusto Pinochet orchestrated
a coup against socialist president Salvador Allende,
with ample help from the United States. Join SOA WATCH
Latin America coordinator and torture survivor Pablo
Ruiz, along with tens of thousands of Chileans, in
commemorating the 40th anniversary of the martyrs whose
lives were lost by this dictatorship, including that of
singer/songwriter Victor Jara whose death was caused by
SOA graduates. From these ashes of the past, a new Chile
is arising, thanks to the valiant efforts of Chilean
students and Mapuche people who refuse to accept the
the neo-liberal model imposed by Pinochet and designed
by US economists. Join us in showing concrete solidarity
for their struggle. The delegation fee of $1,350
includes all meals, lodging, transportation, and
materials within the country. It does not include travel
to and from Santiago, Chile.
