Featured Events & Announcements
|
Welcome to our newly revamped web site! The Tucson Peace Center asked the editor of the Peace Calendar to spend the summer months working on bringing the site up to speed with current technologies, so here we are. The new calendar has more features, including an easy way to create recurring events (ie - a meeting that happens every 3rd Thursday). The new site will also contain an archive of the articles that went into the printed Peace Calendar and an archive of PDFs of the calendar. Although the bulk of the work has been done, you may notice some smaller, cosmetic changes in the coming weeks as we polish it off. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated, and can be sent to events@peacecalendar.org. |

Border Summer - Active resistance against a deadly border policy |
|
When the US Government implemented a new border policy in 1994 based on walls and deterrence, the deaths began. In the summer of 2000, Humane Borders formed and began putting water tanks in the desert for migrants to drink from. Two years went by and the number of lives lost due to dehydration and exposure rose. Then a second group, the Samaritans, came together and began driving the highways and back roads, offering help to anyone in need. And yet the deaths continued to rise. In 2004, No More Deaths came into being as a coalition, setting up desert aid camps and in 2006, migrant aid stations in Nogales and Agua Prieta. The death toll continues to rise. |
