Journey For Justice Dec 15th, Day 15 Ajo to Yuma

When we arrive in Yuma we are horrified to hear that there are some 600 refugees waiting in the dark and cold on the border of Yuma, being detained there by border patrol who have to take them to be processed. And the border patrol arbitrarily decides when, how many, how quickly/slowly, and how often they will do this. In other words, on their own sweet time schedule.

We've left the Rio Grande a few states back, but here on the border is the Colorado River.

This means in addition to being exhausted, probably dehydrated and injured, people - womyn, children, men - are probably wet as well.

And neither did we leave the freakin cold a few states back.

We get in gear, go shopping, jump into an assembly line to make 100 wraps & 200 peanut butter & jelly sandwiches.

We learn that we cannot also provide them with anything but food, snacks & water - all else is confiscated by border patrol along with their shoe laces...
