Join us for the 75-mile journey from Sásabe\, Sonora to Tucson\, Arizona in solidarity with our migrant sisters and brothers who have walked this trail and lost their lives. We bear witness to the lives that are lost\, the families who mourn\, and the communities that suffer the divisions that borders wreak on all of us.
