Did you watch the panel discussion about “What’s Really Happening at Our Southern Border?” The reviews are in, and they’re fantastic! Here’s what viewers had to say about the event:
I really enjoyed yesterday’s panel discussion. I learned several new things and I’m glad for that. Thank you.
Great job tonight! Thank you for bringing these people together, I learned a lot.
I was so thankful I was able to hear each of the speakers and their passion for the immigrants. … It’s too bad that what we see on media is often not the real story.
Thanks for your dedication!
So helpful, thanks.
Thank you so much!
It’s very important to bring awareness to this issue. Thank you Alvaro!
Thank you all.

Thank you! It was great!
Each one was so good and informative.
Great job tonight! It was so interesting to learn about everything from how covid affected the shelters to what it’s like to put up crosses in the desert. Your speakers are such dedicated advocates and practitioners. You put on a wonderful event and should be proud.
Thank you for putting together an excellent webinar. The panelists are all such dedicated and caring people. Everyone should see the human face of the immigrants and the people who help them—we would soon have a humane immigration policy.

Please feel free to share this video far and wide. When asked what they need most, panelists responded that they need increased awareness—everyone should know what’s really happening on our southern border.
My heartfelt gratitude to each of the panelists: Joe Barron of Holding Institute, Diego Piña Lopez of Casa Alitas, Artist Alvaro Enciso, and Dora Rodriguez of Salvavision. Thanks also to Jerima King and Kim Pettit for the simultaneous interpretation to Spanish, and to Hannah Martin for the tech support.
