The School of the Americas, US-Sponsored Repression and 
The Struggle to Build a New World in Guatemala: November 20-28, 2010 

           
            The US Army School of the 
Americas (SOA) played a lead role in the Guatemala Civil War, in 
particular the late 1970s and early 1980s when even the United Nations 
had to admit that the US supported genocide in the Central American 
nation.  Today the SOA has a new name and a slightly different public 
relations campaign.  Has its core mission changed?  What are SOA grads 
doing in Guatemala today?  In what other ways is the US supporting 
repression in Guatemala?  We will explore these questions primarily by 
living and sharing with communities, individuals and organizations that 
are trying to build a new world in Guatemala, one based on social 
justice, peace and dignity for all.  How is the Campaign for a Guatemala
 without Hunger affected by the SOA?  Because these goals are at odds 
with the goals of the US government, they often find themselves targets.
