Podcasts about migrant trail walk

Thank you Peter Murrieta, Jenn Budd, Rebecca Serratos, Cindy Spiker, Colin, and many others for tuning into today's live video of The Border Chronicle weekly roundup! As mentioned in the video, here's a link to sign up for next year's Migrant Trail Walk from Sasabe, Arizona to Tucson.Also, as promised some fabulous photos by Kathleen Dreier from the binational protest on May 31 in southern Arizona against the Trump Administration building a 30-foot wall through the San Rafael Valley, a vital wildlife corridor for endangered species like the jaguar. Left to right, participants on both sides imagine a migratory pathway without barriers, a cross-border volleyball game, and Santa Cruz County Sheriff David Hathaway speaks on the importance of a binational border culture.Since we launched The Border Chronicle in September 2021, it has been our goal to reach 2,000 paid subscribers. Why 2,000 subscribers, you might ask? Because that would be nearly enough funding to provide us (cofounders Todd and Melissa) with a sustainable salary to run The Border Chronicle full time. Imagine what we could do focused on our media outlet 100 percent?! It would be amazing.But … we're not going to lie. It's been a tough climb to reach our goal. We are still 700 subscribers short. Yesterday, we posted a heartfelt request for more paid subscribers to reach our magic number — 2000. Thank you to everyone who has pledged your support so far! And thank you for your encouraging messages.

Today on 30 Minutes, our Multipart series continues with immigration attorney and community leader Margo Cowan discussing Community Organizing and Legal Justice in the Borderlands. Migrant Trail Organizing Committee member and lecturer from Austin, Texas, Olivia Mena introduced Margo Cowan. Margo Cowan has been an advocate for migrant justice for more than 30 years and has been involved with the Migrant Trail since its first journey in 2004. Before becoming an attorney, she was a farmworker organizer mentored by Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta. Margo’s efforts in the areas of border and immigration policy, as well as the development and representation of undocumented persons and refugees, has spanned decades. She is a Defense Attorney for the Pima County Public Defender, was the lead counsel for the Sanctuary movement, where churches and synagogues offered sanctuary to the undocumented facing deportation and co-founded the organization No More Deaths, that seeks to reduce the number of deaths in the Arizona Desert. She is also the Project Coordinator for Keep Tucson Together, a grassroots, pro-bono project that is working directly with community members to stop deportations and the separation of families in Southern Arizona. Margo shared history and perspective on the power of community organization in the legal fight for justice in the borderlands. Since 2004, a group of committed people has coordinated an annual week-long, 75-mile walk from Sásabe, Sonora, Mexico to Tucson, Arizona to call for an end to migrant deaths along the U.S.-Mexico border and to stand in solidarity with victims of global migration. In May 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, participants were unable to physically unite to remember those who have died crossing To continue to raise awareness about migrant deaths and to help raise money for local border justice organizations, organizers launched an alternative Migrant Trail Walk experience to bring people together in a virtual environment. Proceeds benefitted: BorderLinks, the O’Odham Anti-Border Collective, Keep Tucson Together, and the No More Deaths Emergency COVID-19 Bond Fund. The Migrant Trail 2020 Alternative experience included a week of daily reflections, videos, podcasts, and featured speakers. This has been part 7 of a multipart series. You can learn more about The Migrant Trail on their website and their Facebook group. Edited and produced by Amanda Shauger with audio provided by the Migrant Trail Organizing Committee.

Today on 30 Minutes, our multipart series continues with excerpts from Living DACAmented with Tucson based organizer and activist Jessica Rodriguez. This presentation was just weeks before the Supreme Court ruled against the Trump Administration’s efforts to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Up first, Migrant Trail Organizing Committee Member Kat Rodriguez introduces Jessica Rodiguez. Jessica Rodriguez is a Tucson based organizer and activist. Currently, she is the Lead Organizer for the Southside Worker Center. The Southside Worker Center supports a community of worker-leaders building collective power and raising the standards of worker conditions so that workers can take part in dignified work and earn just wages. Throughout her work at the Southside Worker Center, Jessica has helped to recover thousands of dollars in wages for workers, stop criminalization, detention, and deportations of families, defend the rights migrant workers and develop migrant-led worker-owned cooperatives. For the Virtual Migrant Trail, Jessica shared her personal experience as a DACA recipient in Arizona. Since 2004, a group of committed people has coordinated an annual week-long, 75-mile walk from Sásabe, Sonora, Mexico to Tucson, Arizona to call for an end to migrant deaths along the U.S.-Mexico border and to stand in solidarity with victims of global migration.

In her book Solidarity in Practice: Moral Protest and the US Security State (Cambridge University Press, 2019), Chandra Russo explores how solidarity activists contest the practices of the US security state both within its borders and abroad. Russo follows three social movement organizations (The School of the Americas Watch, the Migrant Trail Walk, and Witness Against Torture) that combine high-risk tactics with the practice of solidarity witnessing. She explores how, through their involvement, solidarity activists put into question Human Rights violations perpetrated by the United States government while going themselves through a process of self-transformation. This book should be of interest for those wanting to know more about how some Americans question the atrocities that their government does, as well as scholars interested in the complexities of solidarity mobilization. Felipe G. Santos is a PhD candidate at the Central European University. His research is focused on how activists care for each other and how care practices within social movements mobilize and radicalize heavily aggrieved collectives. Learn more about your ad choices.
