Regions and Regional Representatives At the 2004 annual SOA Watch Strategy Meeting, local SOA Watch groups around the country were divided into twelve regions. In the following months, local groups met and chose people to represent their region's voice on the "SOA Watch Council," the new national decision-making body for SOA Watch. Below you'll find listed the eight regions, the states that make up those regions, and the regional representative for each region. We are currently working to place Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands in a region, based on input from SOA Watch organizers in those locations.

Nicaragua and grew up in both Nicaragua and Guatemala, from a young age, she
has been committed to political action on behalf of the excluded by serving the
poor and underprivileged. Her own mixed background - Nicaraguan Miskito Indian
and white North American - has allowed her to commit to the long-term struggle
for social justice, challenging unfair economic and criminal systems that
affect the immigrant communities. She also has a keen understanding of the
intersecting patterns of exclusion along dimensions of race, ethnicity,
language, gender, immigration-status, and class. Rebeca
has served as a translator and interpreter providing humane and culturally
aware services to people in need. Rebeca has been an active member of the Louisiana Language
Access Coalition. She currently lives in Denver, Colorado, where she
serves as the director of the Denver Justice and Peace Committee; a grassroots
organization that advocates and educates for human rights in Latin America.
