Journey For Justice Dec 11th, Day 11 El Paso

It's cold - from bright sun, then high winds, to snow. We think only of those people fleeing their countries trying to reach 'safety' thru this frigid weather let alone the tremendous mountainous unforgiving terrain.

Many wade or swim across the river, are picked up by border control, processed & then drop shivering in wet clothes outside the greyhound bus station waiting sometimes hours for it to open.

Please go to the goodwill, thrift shops, yard sales, your own closet & get heavy duty quality cotton or wool sweaters, hoodies, long sleeved shirts. Go to rei & buy heavy quality wool or cotton socks. Sweat pants, shoe laces, warm gloves & hats. Backpacks, blankets. All needed. I'm returning prob mid- January & will bring with me.

Shelters are helping hundreds of people daily. Everyone is giving a million percent - & it's not enuff. We have to do more.

Look carefully at the terrain people are stumbling determinedly thru. Miles without access to water let alone food.

We must help. It is our policies that are forcing people to flee their homelands - the same policies that provide us with abundant cheaply priced goods
