Organization Description

SOA Watch is an independent grassroots organization that seeks to close the US Army School of the Americas, under whatever name it is called, through vigils and fasts, demonstrations and nonviolent protest, as well as media and legislative work.

On November 16, 1989, six Jesuit priests, their co-worker and her teenage daughter were massacred in El Salvador. A U.S. Congressional Task Force reported that those responsible were trained at the U.S. Army School of the Americas (SOA) at Ft. Benning, Georgia.

In 1990 SOA Watch began in a tiny apartment outside the main gate of Ft. Benning. While starting with a small group, SOA Watch quickly drew upon the knowledge and experience of many in the U.S. who had worked with the people of Latin America in the 1970's and 80's.

Today, the SOA Watch movement is a large, diverse, grassroots movement rooted in solidarity with the people of Latin America. The goal of SOA Watch is to close the SOA and to change U.S. foreign policy in Latin America by educating the public, lobbying Congress and participating in creative, nonviolent resistance. The Pentagon has responded to the growing movement and Congress' near closure of the SOA with a PR campaign to give the SOA a new image. In an attempt to disassociate the school with its horrific past, the SOA was renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation in January of 2001.

From North Carolina to California, Grassroots Campaigns is dedicated to activating and mobilizing people to take a stand for progressive issues. Be it marriage equality, women's reproductive rights, or voting rights, we are focused on educating people and building public support around these issues to have their voices be heard.

A movement takes more than just one person standing behind it – now that the President has announced his support for marriage equality, now more than ever we need to act!

Grassroots Campaigns, in partnership with the ACLU, is hiring Assistant Directors to run our campaign offices across the country to stand up for equality.

If hired, you will manage one of our campaign offices, build community support, educate the public, and recruit new members for leading non-profit partner organizations, like the ACLU. Grassroots Campaigns is actively working on campaigns to protect the environment, fight poverty, and protect women’s rights.

In this position, you will take on leadership and responsibility, while learning how to run a field campaign. You will need strong communication and motivational skills, work ethic and desire for political change. You must have the leadership ability to oversee a team and an orientation towards handling substantial responsibility.
