The day’s activities had that “first day of school” feeling and was largely pomp and circumstance. Members were officially sworn-in, speeches were made, and family and friends were introduced.…

I am volunteering with No Mas Muertes in the Sonoran Desert on the Tohono O’Odham reservation, leaving water and medicine for migrants making their way through US-Mexican border territory: it is territory which is inhospitable, if less heavily securitized. Characterized by rattlesnakes, extreme temperatures, and a complete lack of drinkable water, it is a geography described by former Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization Service Doris Meissner as a “natural ally” to US Border Patrol, producing tens of thousands of migrant corpses annually. I place three gallon jugs at the designated station and take a photograph.

There is a pile of empty water bottles which have been slashed open and now lie, useless.…
