- INVITE A SPEAKER to Come to Your School to Talk About the
SOA/WHINSEC, Latin America Initiative, Palestine, Iraq, Human Rights... -

Linda Panetta recently returned from Ecuador, Chile, and Peru as part of the SOA Watch Latin America Initiative where she joined Fr. Roy Bourgeois, Lisa Sullivan and Carlos Mauricio. She also was part of the delegation that traveled to Argentina and Uruguay which resulted in those countries withdrawing troops from the SOA/WHINSEC. She is a photojournalist and human rights advocate whose work focuses on cultural, environmental and human rights, with a particular emphasis on conflict zones. She lived and worked in Guatemala and Nicaragua in the late 1980's and has since traveled on several occasions to El Salvador, Mexico, Colombia, and Haiti. Her photography from Afghanistan (2002) and Iraq (2003 / 2004) has also been published globally. Her upcoming travels include Palestine and she and Lisa Sullivan will lead a delegation to Venezuela for the December elections.

Linda's photos have been widely published in books, magazines, and newspapers, and have been aired on several national TV networks. Her photos have been exhibited throughout the US, Canada, Europe and in Afghanistan's National Museum of the Arts.

In 2005 the Catholic Press Association awarded her two Honorable Mentions: Best Photo Story for "Iraq Diary" and Best General News Photo for "Iraq's Search for a Future" (published in the National Catholic Reporter). A collection of Linda's work can be viewed at: www.OpticalRealities.org and her coverage of anti-war demonstrations can be found at: www.soawne.org.

Linda is also the founder of School of the Americas Watch Northeast (SOA Watch/NE) and is the producer and director of the award winning documentary "An Insider Speaks Out!"  This 20 min. video highlights the abuses of the military training facility - the School of the Americas (SOA) - now called the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC) and is located at Ft. Benning, Georgia; more than 10,000 copies of the video have been sold. 

To contact us to schedule a talk, show slides or to set up a photo exhibit at your college, high school or at another venue, please call: 215-473-2162 or email Linda directly at: Linda@OpticalRealities.org.
