Looking for 1,000 grandmas to close the School of the Americas...

... to Close the School of the Americas (Nov. 17-19)
Imagine the courage of ONE THOUSAND GRANDMOTHERS standing together at the gates of the School of the Americas in Fort Benning, Georgia. Imagine the gentle wisdom of one thousand CAREGIVERS taking action to stop the teaching of counterinsurgency techniques, sniper training, commando and psychological warfare, military intelligence and interrogation tactics. Imagine the power of one thousand CHANGE-MAKERS saying NO to the perpetuation of crimes against humanity, especially against indigenous communities and children. At the gates of the US Army's School of Americas, this is exactly our vision.

1. Jim McGovern has had bill after bill trying to get this place closed

With plenty of co-sponsors and a lot of votes, still not enough to pass though :(
