SUMMARY:Border Wall Resistance: Bi-National Border Happening
DESCRIPTION:Border Wall Resistance\nBi-National Border Happening\, @rally.forthevalley \nSaturday\, May 16\, and Sunday\, May 17.\n11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. \nWhere: Lochiel\, Arizona (La Noria) • GPS: 31°19′59″ N 110°26′38″ W (https://maps.app.goo.gl/ eks2hyNrY5sbS1uE9) \nInformational Flyer About the Binational Border Happening \nThe Madrean Archipelago Wildlife Center https://www.mawcenter.org/ \nThe Border Wall has divided the San Rafael Valley in southern Arizona along international lines. This is catastrophic for wildlife\, who for survival cannot be impeded from migration\, but allowed to move north and south across their habitats freely as they have for millennia. \nSlow-growing\, mature oak trees are being bulldozed and killed without a thought. Irreplaceable Pleistocene-era aquifers\, in a time of unprecedented drought and climate change\, are being drained for cement. Cross-border watersheds are being bulldozed and blocked with immense boulders sourced from blasting our own Coronado Memorial National Park. \nCoils of razor-sharp concertina wire are being laid out ahead of construction\, a dangerous menace to innocent wildlife going about their business of survival in a cruel desert. They treat our lands like a war zone\, but one in which there are few if any combatants. What are the thousands of new border agents doing to police this border? Do we need the absurd extra expense of razor wire? \nNow\, other places we hold dear are being assaulted: Big Bend\, Rio Grande River Valley\, La Lomita\, National Butterfly Center\, Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge\, Jacumba Wilderness\, Cerro Cuchumá— sacred places thoughtlessly targeted in this endless fantasy our government falsely claims is essential to our security. \nWe all knew this was coming when we planned our first Bi-National Border Happening on May 31\, 2025\, a success. The date of this next “happening” lands on National Endangered Species Day\, also under attack by the absurd and reckless actions of a rogue administration hungry for profit and power. \nYou all know what’s happening. We need to summon our collective voices and strengths—do everything we can with everything we have—to fight like hell! This Wall must come down in our lifetimes or we’ll bear the consequences of ECOCIDE! \nWe will be broadcasting live. We will share with the global community—those who believe in and are working for migration as the solemn rite of all living beings. Bring your signs\, songs\, poetry and creative spirit.
