On Monday March 9th Kristin Holm a fellow seminarian and friend of mine at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago will serve a 2 month sentence at Pekin FCI prison for civil disobedience.
"Kristin Holm is a 21 year old Lutheran seminary student at LSTC (Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago) who was recently arrested while protesting at the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (formerly the School of the Americas) at Ft. Benning, Georgia. The School of the Americas (SOA) has trained some of the worst military dictators in Latin American history, who are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children. Kristin was convicted and sentenced to 60 days in federal prison and a $250 fine. She will be serving her prison sentence with hopes that it will aid in the fight to close down the SOA/WHINSEC."
Please read more and learn how to support Kristin in her fight for a more just world:
