A Wall in the Wild: Erasing the Borderlands

While we’ve been sheltering in place…

construction crews in the borderlands have been blasting away mountains, mowing down ancient cactuses, tearing through sacred sites, draining springs, and building walls that end wildlife migrations and hurt communities. Our nation’s leaders are obliterating the cultural and natural history of the border region.

Trump has waived 38 laws to rush wall construction, including the National Environmental Policy Act, Endangered Species Act, and other laws that protect indigenous cultural sites and graves.
