Vote to Close the SOA in Early June

Last week, we had an unexpected chance at offering an amendment about the SOA/ WHINSEC to the Defense Authorization bill. Even though the Rules Committee didn’t allow our amendment, two very influential Members of Congress – including the ranking member of the Armed Services Committee – set the stage for our June vote by speaking on the floor about the importance of allowing debate on the SOA issue!

This is thanks to your hard work and perseverance! Let’s keep the pressure on as we look towards a vote in early to mid-June.

    The vote on the ammendment is this week! Make sure to call your congressman and urge him to vote in favor of the McGovern Ammendment to close the School of the Americas.
