Be sure to check out the UA-sponsored Tucson Humanities Festival this week; the focus is refuge, and the impact of migration, climate change, and displacement. Also, along with the holidays, Giving Tuesday approaches—a chance to support the KBI during a season of thanks.
- Tucson Humanities Festival: This year, the Tucson Humanities Festival (formerly Humanities Week) focuses on the theme of refuge and runs from October 10–17, 2016. Sponsored by the University of Arizona, the festival includes lectures by Humanities faculty and invited presenters on the impact of migration, climate change, and displacement. For more information, see: http://humanities.arizona.edu/tucson-humanities-festival.
- Giving Tuesday: Mark the date—Tuesday, November 29—as an opportunity to make a gift to the Kino Border Initiative! Giving Tuesday is a nationwide campaign that reminds us of the importance of charity in the midst of the holiday abundance. Help us provide hope and support to migrant men, women and children as we advocate for more just and humane immigration policies. You can donate here, on Giving Tuesday or anytime, with our deep thanks: https://www.kinoborderinitiative.org/get-involved/donate/.
Great to get this news of your work on a regular basis, We regret not having the time to visit with you all at KBI, but you no doubt had little time to visit. Another time, maybe with a CRISPAZ group. Watching here your 7 minute video of your reception of men deported gave a good understanding of your work.
A group of us from Juarez-El Paso, attended the “Border Convergence” on Oct. 8. We joined the Veterans for Peace March to the wall. Later Attended several workshops. Had to leave early Sunday to return. Great work done at KBI! en Cristo Solidario
Thanks for the message! We are sorry we weren’t able to connect while you were in town this weekend but we are glad you were able to participate. It was moving for us to be at the vigils in the area and give a workshop. Blessings!
