A Presentation of First-Hand Accounts of the Effects of E.U. Border Policies
 A delegation from No More Deaths, Samaritans, and BorderLinks recently spent three weeks in Germany and Malta to witness the plight of migrants and refugees in Europe. The presentation will focus on the humanitarian crisis and human rights violations currently taking place in the Mediterranean, and the ongoing response of faith-based groups in Germany and Malta. Come learn about the startling similarities in border policies between the U.S. and the E.U., and what you can do to help!

NMD Supports Humanitarians on Trial in Italy |
|
|
|
Friday, 29 May 2009 23:20 |
|
 No More Deaths is asking for support for an international "Humanitarian Aid Is Never A Crime" campaign. The Italian government is currently prosecuting two Germans for "smuggling" after they rescued a group of African refugees on the Mediterranean Sea. We are appalled by the attempt to outlaw the courageous action of Elias Bierdel and Stefan Schmidt and by the attempt to destroy their livelihoods.

Winter 2008 Update |

Wednesday, 10 December 2008 12:55 |
Dear No More Deaths Supporter,
From the desert to D.C., this year’s humanitarian efforts went far beyond anything we have done in the past. Thanks to your support, we did more first aid, put out more water, mapped more trails, trained more volunteers, documented more abuses and even sent a delegation to meet with lawmakers in Washington, D.C.; all surpassing previous years’ efforts. With your support, we have been able to build our capacity both in the desert and along the border to carry out our mission: End death and suffering on the US/Mexico border.

Abuse Documentation Update |
|
|
|
Thursday, 20 November 2008 19:49 |
|
Badly blistered feet and sprained ankles were treated for the first time at the Mariposa aid station... and the most heart-breaking story of the night was that of Angeles, a woman from Chiapas who fractured bones in her back climbing over the wall near Agua Prieta... she was in severe pain when she was made to walk back over the line from the Wackenhut bus. We were able to provide her with extra strength tylenol and a place to lie down for the night (the NMD trailer), but she faces a difficult time as she recovers. She was treated in the UMC ER, then released to the BP for processing. Keep her and all those migrating out of necessity in your prayers.

NMD to Send Delegation to DC for Congressional Briefing |
|
|
|
Tuesday, 26 August 2008 19:48 |
No More Deaths volunteers will travel to Washington, D.C., to give a congressional briefing September 17 on the findings in their new report, “Human Rights Abuses of Migrants in Short-Term Custody on the Arizona/Sonora Border.” The briefing will be hosted by Rep. Raul Grijalva, who met with No More Deaths to learn about the report.
The delegation of humanitarians hopes to convince congress to create custody standards that all Department of Homeland Security enforcement, including Border Patrol, must adhere to.
A press conference and sendoff event is scheduled for 12:00 pm Friday, September 12 at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson, 4831 E 22nd St.
