No More Deaths - Media Coordinator

No More Deaths - Media Coordinator

I headed up to Tucson this week to sit down with the media coordinator for the organization No More Deaths. You can find more information at the links below. We talked about the history of the organization, humanitarian aid and border issues in general, and discussed in length the landmark Dr. Scott Warren court case. His second trial will be later this year, and the organization is trying to mobilize people from all over to come to Tucson ahead of the trial, for the months of September, October and November. Volunteers will receive shelter, food, and transportation around Tucson. More information can be found at the No More Deaths website below. Ellos necesitan personas que pueden hablar español para trabajar como voluntarios; hablantes nativos y personas bilingües.
