Struggling for Social Justice in Latin America and Beyond with Father Roy Bourgeois

Thursday, January 19th, 7:30 pm in the FCC Sanctuary

Roy Bourgeois is the founder of The School of Americas Watch, a grassroots movement to close The School of the Americas, a military training camp housed at the Fort Benning Army Base in Columbus, GA. The SOA trains soldiers from Latin America in counterinsurgency techniques, including torture. Soldiers trained at the SOA have been, and still are, responsible for perpetrating death and violence against the people of Latin America. For over 20 years, Roy has dedicated himself to the goal of closing the SOA and educating the public about U.S. foreign policy in Latin America.

This event is co-sponsored by: Voices of the Faithful, School of the Americas Watch & NJ Peace Action.
