It's that time of the year again… when thousands of people from around the country converge at the gates of Ft. Benning - home to the SOA / WHINSEC - and demand that the school be shut down! Last year was our largest gathering ever… and this year promises to be another amazing gathering of hope, solidarity and resistance!

Let Your Voice Be Heard!

Photo Exhibit & Slide Show at the SOA Protest!

Saturday, Nov. 19
7:30 PM - till the end of the concert

In conjunction with SOA Watch/NE & in solidarity with the benefit concert at the Convention Center,* Optical Realities with have on display - and for purchase - photos from throughout Latin America, Iraq, Afghanistan and Haiti, as well as keepsake photos from previous protests.  The price for the photos is on a sliding scale... and many will be sold at a special SOAWNW price this weekend! 

Remember - the holidays are quickly approaching - the photos make great holiday gifts … & conversation pieces!  Visit: www.OpticalRealities.org & www.soawne.org to check out a selection of the photos.

[The exhibit will take place in the hallway outside of the Convention Center Ballroom; several hundred slides will be shown throughout the concert - the slide show is completely revised from last year's showing!]

*The Convention Center is located just 2 blocks from the Jesuit tent at 801 Front Avenue (the concert will be held in the Ballroom)

> Also on sale with be the award-winning documentary "An Insider Speaks Out!" - Major Joseph Blair talks about how some of his own students at the SOA were responsible for the massacre of the 6 Jesuits and their 2 co-workers.  Over 10,000 copies sold - this is a must buy, especially for veterans, who will hear the first-hand accounts of a former military instructor who taught at the SOA!  Rarely seen footage from Latin America, and music by Bruce Cockburn make this a moving and powerful 18-min documentary.

> Also, also…this is the last year we will be selling our 100% organic cotton - "Every known terrorist camp must be shut down…!" tees.  These shirts were made by a women's-owned cooperative in Nicaragua and the inks are environmentally friendly!  Buy 2 tees and get the SOA video "The New Patriots" as a complementary gift!

Soooo come check us out - we'll also be at "table 31" during the rally on Saturday and on Sunday - while supplies last! ...
