<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Creative non-violent direct action and civil disobedience have been some of the most important strategies within the movement to shut down the SOA/WHINSEC and Stewart Detention Center. Following
this tradition, SOA Watch activists will be planning various kinds of non-violent direct action at both vigils this year to continue to up the ante to continue to call attention to the crimes associated with both these nefarious institutions.

Organizers from Georgia Detention Watch, Georgia Peace & Justice Coalition, and the #ShutDownStewart movement, will conduct a detailed workshop on the human rights violations taking place at Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, GA. For years, SOA Watch has
understood that the root causes of the immigration crisis in the US include economic exploitation and military intervention in Latin America and other parts of the world. During this workshop, presenters will examine these causes with a specific focus on the
intersections of racism, militarism, and mass incarceration that are embodied at Stewart and other detention centers throughout the US.</span>
