No More Deaths just released their report called, "A Culture of Cruelty." The report documents abuses suffered by migrants from U.S Border Patrol. There are more than 30,000 incidents of abuse documented in the last three years. If you have a chance, and agree that these abuses should stop, please sign the petition on the website: http://www.cultureofcruelty.org/
Once you are on the website, just click on the "take action" link and you can sign the petition.
All the abuse documentation and desert aid work I have done in Arizona through No More Deaths is represented in this report. Your signature will be sent directly to the Department of Homeland Security, with each signature putting more pressure on the Department to stop these abuses.
I've been in Arizona for less than two weeks and I've already seen a lot of the injustices represented in the report happening around me. If you have any questions about the situation, the report, or anything related to the border and southern Arizona, please be in touch.
Thanks so much,
Berit
