Spring 2008 issue of ¡Presente! -
The 12-page newspaper is intended to be a tool for the movement. Its
purpose is to give updates about the state of the campaign in English and Spanish, to provide information and analysis about events and developments in the Americas and to get more people involved in the work to change oppressive U.S. foreign policy and to end the racist system of violence and domination.

FIGHTING THE SOA AND PUBLIC AMNESIA
by Lesley Gill, featured article in the Winter/Spring 2008 issue
The movement to close the School of the America (SOA) punctures the
founding myths of American exceptionalism. These myths include the belief that the United States is committed to democracy for all, that it is essentially good, and that because it is good, the United States only uses its power for virtuous ends. The presumed innocence of the United States and its citizens insures that "we" are always the victims of the violence of others. This historical shortsightedness perpetuates a widespread amnesia about the naked violence that has supported U.S. imperialism and the acceptance of torture by U.S. officials for decades.
