Add an EventDouglas Arizona City Council Passes Resolution Against Border Militarization & Walls
and businesses on the border at risk of the bulldozer Border
Action Network launched a drive to stop the triple walls and
protect our communities:<i> <b>No to border militarization! Not
at the cost of our communities!</b></i> In the next two months we
will bring together city officials, businesses, churches and community
members in all four border states to defend our communities and
insist in policies that reflect the realities and priorities of
border communities.<br>
The Douglas City Council declared today "ineffective Federal policies will negatively impact local economies". The resolution points out that "the communities of Douglas, Arizona and Agua Prieta Sonora, Mexico are joined together not divided, as one region by the border, its people, culture and commerce."
Two weeks ago our allies at the Border Network for Human Rights successfully got a similar resolution passed in El Paso. Border communities are united in their belief that we need a "safe and humane approach that should recognize the dignity and worth of every human life."
