Sarah and Dora together in Organ Pipe National Monument paying respects at Dora’s “sacred spot” where the Sanctuary Movement was born, now immortalized by Alvaro Enciso’s commemorative crosses.
Featured speakers, Reverend John Fife and Dora Rodriguez in conversation with Sarah Towle, will kick off this burgeoning learning community in a collective discovery of the Sanctuary Movement, when it began and why and how we must revive it to meet the demands of today. Additional guests (to come) will speak to the threats posed by the current administration to Sanctuary cities and states.
