September 2001 Call to Action News

Write to the CTA prisoners of conscience

Last May 26 School of the Americas protesters received federal prison sentences for civil disobedience committed during the SOA Watch annual protest at Fort Benning, Ga. in November. In July most of them entered federal prison camps to begin serving their time in the tradition of Gandhi, Dorothy Day and Martin Luther King, Jr. Six of those imprisoned for six-month terms are CTA members. Please send your letters of solidarity and support to these CTA colleagues:
