"Paz, Salaam, Shalom" ~ Emma's Revolution at SOA Convergence, 11.21.2009

Every November at the Ft. Benning military base in the town of Columbus, GA, thousands of people converge for a protest to shut down the "School of the Assassins," an infamous U.S. training center that has instructed countless Latin American soldiers to commit torture, repress democracy, and violate human rights. In 2009 on Saturday, November 21st, Emma's Revolution performed their popular song calling for worldwide peace, with the lyrics, "Paz, Salaam, Shalom ... In Jerusalem, in Ramallah, in Tel Aviv, in Gaza City, in Washington, in New York City ... We will work for peace!"
