Bringing the Border to Washington, DC Part II
A delegation of volunteers from No More Deaths, a humanitarian aid group based in Tucson, Arizona, will participate in a Congressional briefing in Washington, D.C., on September 17, 1:00 PM.
Their new report, "Human Rights Abuses of Migrants in Short-Term Custody on the Arizona/Sonora Border," will be released at that time. The briefing is hosted by Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ). The report will be shared with human rights groups in a briefing hosted by Amnesty International on September 18.
Please encourage your members of Congress to attend one of these briefings, send them a copy of the executive summary which can be found on the NMD's website at http://www.nomoredeaths.org/ Below is video from the Press Conference last week.
The two video clips below contain an overview of the report given by long time NMD's volunteer Maryada Vallet.
