Journey For Justice Dec 15th, Day 15: The only thing "illegal" is the wall

This morning we drive 40 miles south of Ajo to the Organ Pipe Cactus Park where over 23 environmental laws were broken in order to construct this 'wall' that devastates much of the Park as well as the stark, incredibly beautiful mountain range that few humans, if any, can traverse and so many animals, birds, plants, cactus need free access to roam & survive.

We go to the sacred ancient Quitobaquito where the O'odham people lived around an oasis in this high desert for thousands of years - bit worse, for times that the elder womon remembers.

Heartbreaking to know that in order to build this 'wall', not just dynamite, leveling huge swaths thru the land to accommodate 10, 20, 30 tractor trailers hauling hug steel beams daily, drones adding to the shattered silence of the desert, but they had to drill deep into the earth every fuckin 5 miles to get water for the roads, for construction.

So this oasis started loosing so much water it filled with mud.

This First Nation of the O'odham people fought hard to stop the construction but lost.

The only thing illegal here is this fuckin wall.
