NO BORDER WALL: Grandmother Camp in Lochiel, Arizona, Expanded to Tree Sit on the Mexico Side


NO BORDER WALL: Grandmother Camp in Lochiel, Arizona, Expanded to Tree Sit on the Mexico Side

GRANDMOTHER CAMP HAS EXPANDED TO A TREE SIT ON THE MEXICO SIDE.
“From Minnesota to Mexico, resistance is fertile!”


"A defender of Grandmother tree phoned into the celebration for the 55th anniversary of friendship park to discuss what is happening in Southern Arizona and how the defenders of Grandmother tree have stopped border wall construction," Kate Scott said today at the tree sit in Lochiel."

"Friendship park is a binational site sitting directly on the U.S.–Mexico border, split between San Diego, California, and Playas de Tijuana, Baja California. Defending Grandmother isn’t just about protecting an ancient tree, it’s about building a community of land defenders across the whole southern border & beyond. If we can stop construction here, we can do it anywhere!"

"We hope what is happening down here in Lochiel, AZ inspires you to take action in your community,"
