Courage, Mexico! - Call to Action, Call to Solidarity

The Center for Action and Contemplation has had a longstanding relationship with Sister Donna and the women of the Centro Santa Catalina. Just this year, because of the increased violence in Juarez, the CAC had to make the agonizing decision to no longer take 9-day interns across the border to meet the women at the CSC and then stay in their homes. Since that time individuals at the CAC have been praying about and exploring ways to be in solidarity with the women without actually crossing the border. A website is one effort that has emerged thus far.

Please check out this site and be sure to click on "Photos" to watch a very well done video that will tell and show you more of the CSC.

This weekend I traveled to Tucson, AZ where I now begin a 2-week stay connecting and volunteering with No Mas Muertes, Samaritans, and Humane Borders, and participating in a Seminar for Educators at Border Links.
