It’s time for me to head back to the border. Don’t mind my radio silence over the next few days: I’ll be off grid through Friday as I join No More Deaths / No Más Muertes in their ongoing efforts to provide humanitarian aid to those who urgently need it.

AID IN THE DESERT

No More Deaths maintains a year-round humanitarian presence in the deserts of southwestern Arizona. We work in the remote corridors into which migration has been pushed, where people are walking 30 to 80 miles. Volunteers hike the trails and leave water, food, socks, blankets, and other supplies. Under the direction of our medical team, volunteers provide emergency first-aid treatment to individuals in distress.
