We will unite to reclaim our space, oppose the militarization of our border, and Trump's first major construction of the border wall.

Border residents are united in opposition to the militarization of our border. Over the last two decades, the United States has militarized the southern border region with little regard to its negative impact on our communities, wildlife, and environment. We are standing in the breach of this blatant disregard and disrespect for human life and sacred lands. The barriers that separate us physically and metaphorically allow for ALL communities to come together in resistance to this destructive and divisive border wall. Recently, a $72 million contract has been awarded to Montana-based Barnard Construction Company to replace existing 4-foot high vehicle barriers with new 18'-30' steel bollard wall. This new wall along the U.S.-Mexico border in Santa Teresa, N.M. will mark President Trump's first victory in building his promised border wall.

We invite people from around the region and nation to stand with us. Join us on Saturday, June 2, 5-8 pm, where we will gather in solidarity in the path of construction to demonstrate to the world our unequivocal rejection of the militarization of our border.
