Work 4 Peace,Hold All Life Sacred,Eliminate Violence! I am on my mobile version of the door-to-door, going town-to-town holding readings/gatherings/discussions of my book "But What Can I Do?" This is my often neglected blog mostly about my travels since 9/11 as I engage in dialogue and actions. It is steaming with my opinions, insights, analyses toward that end of holding all life sacred, dismantling the empire and eliminating violence while creating the society we want ALL to thrive in

Journey For Justice Dec 16th, Day 16 Cocopah Nation land

We leave this border crossing point and drive back down the 'wall' to another spot where the Cocopah land begins and the vile 'wall' ends.

For the Cocopah Nation was strong enough to fight and keep the government from building the wall through their ancient land.

The governor of Arizona had the unfuckinbelievably brilliant idea to place a double high wall of shipping containers along the border when tRump was unable to finish his malevolent steel and barbed wire wall.

At a cost of over $100 million the shipping containers were placed both on what they 'thought' was the edge of the Cocopah Nation land to connect with the finished wall. The nation sued, claiming it was indeed on their land. So now they're being removed at an additional cost of $76 million And there's another section of this shipping container wall that was additionally placed through the Coronado National Forest, which is federal land and without the permission of the feds. Now all the shipping containers are being removed and sent to a prison - fancy that.

Can you imagine the cost in damage to Mother Earth the heavy equipment needed to both transport these containers, place them, let alone pick them up and stack them on top of each other let alone put fuckin barbed wire along the top???
