SB 1070 “Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act”

I can't believe we have to laugh at something like this---it shouldn't have gotten this far. But here it is, almost to terrifying and ridiculous to laugh.....Here in Arizona we are all wearing buttons that say "No Papers".....

Acro-Yoga

Jess and I tried to take photos of this acro-yoga pose wherever we went!

Zapatistas

Meeting with Zapatista assembly members in Chiapas, Mexico.

Buen Pastor

This is a photo of Denis and I. Denis was from the same small village in Nicaragua where I was a volunteer for six weeks. He recognized me, even though five years have passed, and he shared stories of his life since the last time I saw him.
This is a group photo from Tapachula, Mexico when we stayed at a migrant shelter there. All 8 students, our 2 instructors, 2 Witness for Peace leaders, Padre Flor (who was the Pastor at Buen Pastor), Julio (our driver), and Xela, Marina and Cristal (3 migrant children from Guatemala on their way north) are all in the picture.

The Border Wall

This was in February, in Sasabe Mexico. My smile was momentary....feeling the size of the wall and imagining the environmental and humanitarian affects of the wall were far more moving than any positive impression of the work and money that goes into constructing these walls.
