Building Authentic Relationships in the Borderlands
Join us to uplift border communities and foster understanding and connection.
Fear over immigration divides us.
We create spaces for connection to build peace.
Without meaningful relationships with our neighbors—whether across the aisle or the border—fear thrives. Harmful narratives spread, and we lose sight of our shared humanity. Located on an ancient crossroads along the US-Mexico border, we create physical and relational spaces for people to connect. We’re writing a new story—one of belonging and peace.
