Thousands of people have died trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border.  Dozens of environmental and cultural protections were swept aside in Bush’s quixotic quest to build a border wall hundreds of miles long, and now Trump has picked up where he left off.  The border boom has destroyed and fragmented wildlife habitat, stymied animal migration and caused tremendous flooding, while leaving unchanged the underlying causes of undocumented migration and smuggling.

Everyday people from border communities and beyond have responded to these disasters with old-fashioned grassroots muscle.  Humanitarians roam migrant trails armed with drinking water and first aid kits.  Conservation groups are speaking out against border walls and working to rehabilitate lands damaged by the Border Patrol.

Join Dan Millis of Sierra Club Borderlands to hear his experiences as an advocate for the environment and human rights on the border, and learn what you can do to help.
