Join UCC Friends on a Trip to the Border

 

You are invited to join Mayflower UCC on a trip to the Arizona border October 27–31. Our agenda includes meeting with Kate Scott, co-founder and director of Madrean Archipelago, to learn about how the border wall has affected people, wild life, water, and many other aspects of life. We will meet with a ranger at the border to see the militarization of his ranch and spend time in a new shelter in Nogales Sonora, Mexico, with which Rev Randy Mayer is very involved. We will also travel to Douglas, AZ, to learn of the amazing work of Fronterdecristo and make a trip to the area of the border that affects the O’odham tribal communities and learn how their land and community have been affected by the militarization of their land. We also hope to have a lawyer from the ACLU address the group.

 

If you are interested in participating in this trip, please contact Diane Haines at diane.m.haines@comcast.net for more information. The trip will be limited to 20 people.
