** Border Angels Weekly Newsletter

There was a time when my own people trekked through the wilds to find a home that accepted them.

There was a time my people fled across the sea to escape the tyranny of death caused by men of terrible power.

And now, people at America's border, the same country that provided shelter to my own, suffer the familiar tragedies as they seek a safer world.

Though I cannot be there myself, consider these supplies as an action by a common man, taken when he needed the winged trumpets of angels to the south.

Continue your work, and expect more to come in the future.

Never again is now!
- This letter was received in a package delivered to our San Diego office with donations. We are forever grateful for all of our supporters that help us continue making a difference.

Fundraisers

HUMANO Mexico's first Human Rights Film Festival is a non profit Film Festival set in Tijuana Mexico, a few steps from the USA/Mex Border . HUMANO received more of '3200 films in the last 6 weeks on the platform Filmfreeway. Filmmakers from more than 122 countries reached out to us and causing us to break international records on submission of a First time Film festival.

HUMANO Film Festival does not charge any fees to submit or screen Films, instead we promote and reward the Filmmakers who feature short films that advance issues related to Human Rights. HUMANO welcomes productions that speak to stories of humans experiencing violations of rights as a human and productions that examine the rights of: access to our planet, ethnic groups, education access, equity, health access, gender inequality, migration challenges, racism, xenophobia, misogyny, homophobia and other obstacles that impede a dignified and balanced life across the human spectrum.

We are looking for your support to give to each of the winners a prize to keep making films that contribute on a social impact and to support the new generations of Artivism. With your help they will be able to keep fighting for the freedom of speech . At the same time we are launching HUMANO Cinema Movil to bring Movies and Art lessons to shelters and indigenous groups over The Border.

“We will be using the donations to help provide resources and items to the migrants over the border who are in need. We work with many shelters in Tijuana. We do our best to provide support and care for the men, women, and children in the shelters. Border Angels has expanded to conduct humanitarian work for migrants and advocates for human rights, humane immigration reform, and social justice. Our work is aimed at reducing the number of lives lost along the U.S.-Mexico border: people who are seeking a better life, basic sustenance for their family, or freedom from poverty and violence.”

Run for the humane treatment of immigrants
My name is Gerardo and I am running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon this year to help raise money for the non-profit Border Angels. Border Angels is a wonderful organization based out of San Diego and Tijuana that helps advocate for human rights, humane immigration reform, as well as social justice. Some of the services that they provide include free immigration consultations, educational programs, water drops, day labor outreach, and Caravans of Love. I chose this cause because the recent treatment of immigrants by the government is inhumane and this organization is doing their part to help at this trying time. I ask you to please take the time to donate to this cause. Thank you.
