This included hosting the Dismantling Borders Book Club with several authors speaking to the war on terror, global migration and racist nationalism, and border patrol and immigrant rights as well as Webinars on water and land defenders in Honduras, and peace and elections in Colombia. We also supported monthly vigils to remember and continue the ongoing quest for accountability for the 2012 murder of Jos Antonio Elena Rodriguez.

  • Continued to research and educate the public about human rights violations by SOA/WHINSEC graduates, instructors and other recipients of U.S. military training in the Western Hemisphere through lectures and speaking engagements to universities classes as well as coordinating/managing college interns and volunteers into our programming work.

    Expenses $23,151

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
