[mgj-discuss] Fundraising WG notes

[Hendrik Voss]

hey hope - you can add another fundraising item to your list.  SOA Watch can
provide a bunch of videos:

"SOA: Guns and Greed"
Rarely seen footage from Latin America in this documentary shows how the
combat-ready SOA graduates use their guns to protect the greed of the New
IMF/WB "Conquistadors" and multinational corporations. SOA: Guns & Greed
presents powerful statements from students, labor leaders, veterans and
church people during the IMF/World Bank blockade on April 16, 2000 and the
protests to close the School of the Americas.
- sell for $15, $5 goes to production, $3 to SOA Watch, $7 to MGJ

see you Wednesday (if i can make it to the meeting)
peace and struggle,
Hendrik
