DESCRIPTION:NEW BOOK: Build Bridges, Not Walls: A Journey to a World Without 
 Borders\n\nAUTHOR: Todd Miller, award-winning journalist & activist\n\nDate

 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/todd-miller-in-conversation-with-nick-estes-tickets-142193910815\n\nIn 
 personal stories from twenty years of activism and reporting, an 
 award-winning journalist calls on readers to imagine a world without 
 borders.\n\nBy the time Todd Miller spots him, Juan Carlos has been 
 wandering alone in a remote border region for days. Parched, hungry and 
 disoriented, he approaches and asks for a ride. Miller's instinct is to 
 oblige, but he hesitates: Furthering someone's unauthorized entrance into 
 the U.S. is a federal crime.\n\nTodd Miller has been reporting from 
 international border zones for over twenty-five years. In "Build Bridges, 
 Not Walls", he invites readers to join him on a journey that begins with 
 the most basic of questions: What happens to our collective humanity when 
 the impulse to help one another is criminalized?\n\nA series of 
 encounters—with climate refugees, members of indigenous communities, 
 border authorities, scholars, visionaries, and the shape-shifting 
 imagination of his four-year-old son—provokes reflections on the ways in 
 which nation-states create the very problems that drive immigration, and 
 how the abolition of borders could make the world a more sustainable, 
 habitable place for all.\n\nIs it possible to create a borderless world? 
 How could it emerge, and how might it be better equipped to solve the 
 global emergencies threatening our collective survival? "Build Bridges, Not 
 Walls" is an inspiring, impassioned call to envision—and work toward—a 
 bold new 
 reality.\n___________________________________________________________\n\nSPEAKER
