No More Deaths Opens Desert Camps for “Spring Break”! |
|
Since 2004 No More Deaths has had a continuous presence in Southern Arizona desert from the beginning of June
through the end of September. We know that our summer patrols have reduced the
suffering and, in many cases, prevented the deaths of migrants crossing during
this extremely dangerous time of year.
But we know the need doesn't begin in June and stop at the
end of September. That's why this year, we're getting a head start. From March
8-21 the desert camps will be open as we prepare for what is bound to be
another hot, deadly summer. We're hard at work putting all the plans
together-check back in the next few weeks for more information and spring break
volunteer applications.
Until then, here is a flier to share with as many people as
possible!

Holiday Reflection from Father Bob Carney |
|
The last days of Advent are a time when we anticipate
and prepare to celebrate the birth-day of the One who comes to save,
the poor humble man from Nazareth. I recall the ancient story of that
pitiful time when, mother, father and son fled into the desert. What
fear must have been in their hearts as they set out to face unknown
dangers. Knowing the dangers of the desert, in desperation they had no
choice but to heroically take the risk hoping, against impossible odds,
they would find welcome and safety in a foreign land. And, when they
reached the land of hoped for security they were met with a virtual
wall of rejection and hostility. They would knock on door after door
only to be turned away, only to hear the voices of those warm and
comfortable in their homes say, "go away, you are not wanted here, go
back to where you came from."
