Pete Seeger called SOA Watch “the singin’est movement since Civil Rights!” Cultural workers have had a tremendous role in shaping the movement to close the School of the Americas. I am honored to be part of the Musicians’ Collective for SOA Watch, the movement to shut down the School of Assassins at Fort Benning GA. SOAW has just released Sing it Down: Songs to Close the SOA.
