WHO: Coalición de Derechos Humanos, Danza Mexica Cuautemoc, No More Deaths, Fundación México, Pan Left Productions, Promotores de Derechos Humanos-Tucson, Citizens for Border Solutions, UA MEChA, Sonoran Progressive Democrats of America, Samaritans
WHY: This mass demonstration at the US-Mexico border demands justice in our communities. The Secure Fence Act threatens to build more walls between our communities, political rhetoric calls for more militarization on our borders, anti-immigrant sentiment bombards us daily through the media and political hopefuls, National Guard troops occupy our communities, and the deaths of hundreds of our brothers and sisters are consistently ignored! We must stand together to DEMAND a halt to border deaths and the demilitarization of our communities! The call for justice in migrant communities continues!
We Demand:
The removal of failed border enforcement policies known as Operations Gatekeeper, Hold the Line, Rio Grande , and Safeguard, which have included the construction of walls, stadium lights, drag roads, and checkpoints
An end to the deaths of migrants along the U.S.-México border
An immediate halt to the construction of walls between the U.S. and México
The immediate removal of the U.S. National Guard from the Arizona border
An investigation of the effects of border enforcement policies on border communities, particularly from an environmental and health perspective
The creation of an independent entity, with full investigatory powers, to look into allegations of abuse by law enforcement officials under the Department of Homeland Security
“We are one family; we have no borders”
“Somos una familia; no tenemos Fronteras”
