No More Deaths Press Conference 9/12/2008
Bringing the Border to Washington, D.C.
A delegation from No More Deaths will be making their way to Washington, D.C. as a part of Congressional Briefing hosted by Raul Grijalva on September 17th and a briefing hosted by Amnesty International on September 18th. Below are some clips from the press conference that Jenny Dale and Stephanie Dernek attended. We will post a summary of the document as soon as we are able.
Opening Remarks- Rev. Diane Dowgiert, Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson
Testimony from Green Valley Samaritans- Shura Wallin
Testimony from No More Deaths Volunteer- Jimmy Wells
Testimony from Tucson Samaritans & No More Deaths- Margo Cowan
Our job, collectively is to make the realities of the border known throughout the country. The abuses documented by NMD in this report are very important to lift up, recognizing that these too can happen in our backyard if we are not vigilant in ensuring that the rights of all people are maintained.
