Solidarity from the Borderlands: A View from the Ground
Join us for a presentation by Dr. Dorothee Benz about their recent trip to the US southern border.
Every year, hundreds of people die crossing the U.S.-Mexico boarder. Benz spent the months of January and part of June in the Sonoran Desert, providing humanitarian aid to crossing migrants with the group No More Deaths.
She brings a report on the real conditions on the ground, the life saving efforts of volunteers amidst overwhelming need, and the causes of the humanitarian crisis – all in perspective of the bipartisan agreement on border policy and the white Christian nationalist push for full-scale ethnic cleansing in the U.S.
