This is an outrage and an attack on the lives of migrants and refugees. In Southern Arizona, the remains of someone who died trying to cross the border are found on average once every three days. Many more human remains are never found. Humanitarian aid along the border is necessary due to governmental policies that push migration into remote terrain. No More Deaths, a humanitarian aid organization and ministry of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson, has provided food, water, and medical aid at our camp in Arivaca since 2004. Thursday's raid was an escalation of an already violent border policy, and a targeted attack on a civilian, non-violent, humanitarian response to the crisis of death and suffering on the border. By raiding a site that exists to prevent deaths of migrants, Border Patrol is denying the right of undocumented people to receive life-saving resources and care. Not only is this immoral, it is a violation of the International Red Cross code of conduct for disaster relief. We call on Border Patrol and other governmental agencies to end the policies and practices that cause death and suffering of migrants and refugees along the border. We assert the right for migrants to receive life-saving humanitarian aid in the midst of the crisis of border deaths. We call on Border Patrol and other governmental agencies to cease interference with all humanitarian aid efforts. No more deaths! ¡No más muertes! https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell-border-patrol-humanitarian-aid-is-a-right
