Grid Desert 2
Lights from Mexico shine through to the U.S., the dark side of the wall.

Went out on a water drop yesterday, leaving supplies for migrants in the desert and wrote a short blog post about it.
With all the news about asylum seekers at the border, it's important to remember that those not eligible for asylum still attempt to cross the 50-70 miles of dangerous Arizona desert. Hundreds of human remains are found here each year.

Joel (right) and another volunteer with the Tucson-based group Humane Borders hoist a flag to mark a water barrel, one of six placed at the request of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument officials on May 13th, 2023. These were placed along the border wall where migrants have been crossing in the last week.
Humane Borders has a working relationship with the National Park Service to place and maintain these barrels, though the NPS usually only grudgingly allows it. In this case, with the sudden influx of migrants and the hot weather, NPS approached Humane Borders and requested the tanks.
The blue flags also have bright LEDs so people in need can find the tanks at night.
Yesterday, May 14th, Joel was doing similar work near Arivaca, AZ, far east of here and was harassed by racist vigilantes who have been using the hype about the end of Title 42 as a recruiting tool.
