from No More Deaths, No Más Muertes

Temperatures are plummeting in the Sonoran desert this week, reaching freezing and near-freezing temperatures at night, as winter now sets in.  The dangers posed by this intense cold are no less than those that come from the soaring summer heat.  Border enforcement continues to funnel migrants into desert corridors where, no matter what time of year, the extreme environment can cause death by exposure.

In conditions like this we have found water gallons frozen solid.  The patients we see are suffering from hypothermia and trench foot, as well as dehydration.  As the cold gathers around us this holiday season, we are responding by putting food, dry socks, and blankets in areas where people are walking through the desert.

As weather conditions intensify along the border, thousands of migrants are trapped in camps in northern Mexico, systematically being denied any chance for asylum in the United States.  No More Deaths volunteers are maintaining a presence in the desert 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to help with this crisis.

Please consider giving an end-of-the-year tax-deductible gift today to support the critical work of our volunteers in the field.  We can't do this lifesaving work without your support. You can give a one-time or recurring gift here.

Please see more about what we do by taking a look at our end-of-the-year newsletter here.

from parents of Dr. Scott Warren, No More Deaths

May 13, 2019

Dear Sylvia,

thank you so much for signing the petition for our son, Dr. Scott Warren.  Will you take the next step and call the US Attorney's Office and demand they drop all charges?

Today we head to Tucson Federal Court for a pre-trial hearing in which our son's lawyers will argue that all charges stemming from his January 2017 arrest should be immediately vacated due to the selective nature of Border Patrol’s enforcement activities and that his arrest was a targeted act of political retaliation resulting from No More Deaths’ open criticism of Border Patrol’s human rights abuses.  Read more here.

In response to the growing evidence that Scott was clearly targeted by the US Border Patrol, we are asking supporters to call the U.S. Attorney’s Office and demand they drop all charges.  You can call today and every day between now and May 29th, the first day of Scott's trial.  For an up-to-date phone number and script, visit bit.ly/scottwarren.

Thank you for your continued support,

Pam & Mark Warren

Call the US Attorney’s Office

MAY 12, 2019

Use the sample script below or create your own.  After you call, let us know and sign our petition.

I am calling to demand USDOJ drop all charges against Scott Warren. This is in reference to case 4:18-cr-00223-RCC-BPV.

Given the crisis of death and disappearance of undocumented people on the border, humanitarian aid workers must be allowed to perform their life-saving work without government harassment and prosecution. I oppose the intimidation of aid workers.  Humanitarian aid is never a crime!
