After careful consideration, due to the spread of COVID-19 and the current CDC recommendations regarding prevention and containment, we have elected to postpone the March 21st Water Drop until further notice. Everyone who has a spot this month will be guaranteed a spot when we do open this event again, and we will provide you with abundant notice as to any updated information regarding scheduling so you may plan in advance.

We understand these events fill very quickly, and many people have been waiting months to attend and are even traveling from out of state, this is not an easy decision to come to considering what is at stake regarding our mission, however ultimately we find practicing caution and prevention at this time to be of utmost importance. Though this is an outdoor event we travel by carpool for hours in close quarters, and lack the means for adequate hand sanitation in the desert, and there definitely is no way to ensure proper social distancing so we had to make this very tough call.

Thank you everyone for your dedication and support!! We look forward to seeing you in the desert very soon! Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or feedback. Community will always be how we persevere, and though we are not physically together we are united in mission and resistance. We appreciate you and are here for you. ✊🏽🌹

US Supreme Court lets 'Remain in Mexico' asylum policy stay in place

By Ariane de Vogue

"The court's order is a victory for the administration, which warned there would be a "rush to the border" if the policy that has been in effect for a year was blocked by the courts. It's a devastating loss for immigrant rights groups who say asylum seekers sent back to Mexico are living in dangerous conditions."

Asylum-Seekers Reaching U.S. Border Are Being Flown To Guatemala

By Reynaldo Leaños Jr.
