Christ in word and deed. They partner with churches on both sides

No More Deaths |
No More Deaths seeks to end death and suffering on the U.S./Mexico
border through civil initiative: the conviction that people of
conscience must work openly and in community to uphold fundamental human
rights. Our work embraces the Faith-Based Principles for Immigration
Reform and focuses on the following themes: Direct aid that extends the
right to provide humanitarian assistance, Witnessing and responding,
Consciousness raising, Global movement building, Encouraging humane
immigration policy. |

Samaritans |
Samaritans (formerly Samaritan Patrol) are people of faith and
conscience who are responding directly, practically and passionately to
the crisis at the US/Mexico border. We are a diverse group of
volunteers that are united in our desire to relieve suffering among our
brothers and sisters and to honor human dignity. Prompted by the
mounting deaths among border crossers, we came together July 2002 to
provide emergency medical assistance, food and water to people crossing
the Sonoran Desert. |

grounded community where students and young adults in Tucson can:

Casa Maria |
Casa Maria’s mission, as part of the lay catholic worker movement
founded in 1930 in New York City by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin, is to
practice daily the love and compassion of Jesus and to implement the
teachings of his Gospel and the social doctrine of our church. The
Sermon on the Mount and the call to solidarity with the poor are the
heart of these teachings. |

Borderlands Theatre |
Borderlands Theater is a professional theater company recognized
nationally and internationally for the development and production of
theater and educational program that reflects the diversity of the
voices of the Southwest border region. Although focusing on the
Latino/Chicano voice as the core voice to nurture and support,
Borderlands works interactively with all of the voices of the region.
The "border," both as physical and social landscape, is a metaphor for
Borderlands' work. This metaphor allows, invites and even demands, both
a regional and an international understanding of what it represents.
Border people, in the best sense of the word, are citizens of the world. |
