Over the last five years, an average of 200 bodies of undocumented migrants have been found annually in U.S. Custom & Border Patrol's Tucson Sector. Given the remoteness and topography of our Sonoran Desert, we can presume that the number of people who have died is far greater. Humane Borders, a local nonprofit, works to mitigate this crisis by maintaining a system of water stations on the routes used by migrants making the perilous journey to the United States on foot. 

Join us for a conversation with Laurie Cantillo, executive director, and Steve Saltonstall, board member and volunteer, to learn more about what this humanitarian crisis looks like on the ground.

A program of the Rabbi Joseph H. Gumbiner Community Action Project.
