HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS AT THE BORDER 

12:30 p.m. Sunday, April 6
Holland Sanctuary at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson

Corporate greed, violence and human rights violations by the government are a national pandemic. Here in Southern Arizona, Tohono O'odham tribal elder and activist Ophelia Rivas, a founder of O'odham VOICE Against the WALL, will be in Tucson to speak about the human rights violations, Border Patrol violence and the impact of the occupation of the Tohono O'odham reservation at the Arizona- Mexico border by the U.S. Border Patrol, separating them from their families and sacred tribal ceremonial grounds on the Mexico side of the border.

Co-sponsored by the O'odham VOICE Against the WALL and the Social Justice Council of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson. Free event, but donations will be gratefully accepted to buy groceries, medicine and toys for O'odham families.
