Border Kindness provides food, supplies, medical care, and legal assistance for refugees and migrants in Mexicali, Mexico. We spent a day with them this spring as part of our project, and were amazed at how they threw themselves into solving whatever problem came up, from delivering diapers to covering a child's dental work.

A 36-foot-tall border wall may soon cut the National Butterfly Center in half, threatening this vital center of biodiversity and the entire Rio Grande ecosystem. Executive Director Marianna Treviño-Wright explains the consequences of walling off American access to the Rio Grande, and shares how you can help stop the wall in this video from ChangeStream Media.

The Angry Tias & Abuelas Of RGV, Texas, formed in response to the family separation crisis of 2018, and they continue supporting migrants with deliveries of material assistance, travel help at the McAllen bus terminal, and other services as needed. We were able to accompany one of the Tias, Elisa Filippone, as she made her near-daily trip from Brownville, Texas into Mexico to deliver supplies to migrants waiting to request asylum in the United States.

Our first video from our project! Team Brownsville is a volunteer collective in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas assisting migrants on both sides of the US-Mexico border. The US policy of "metering" the entry of asylum seekers has forced thousands of migrants to camp out on the Brownsville border bridge, waiting in a lawless limbo to plead their case.
Team Brownsville member Mike Benavides helps organize daily deliveries of breakfast, dinner, medical assistance, and needed supplies to support the bodies and spirits of those trapped in this appalling bureaucratic trap. Working with Good Neighbor Settlement House, Inc., volunteers like Andrea Rudnik help migrants who have just been released from detention facilities. Asylum seekers are met at the bus station and assisted with their travel route to reunite with family and loved ones. They are also offered backpacks full of supplies, as well as a chance to visit Good Neighbor Settlement House to rest, shower, eat and get a donated set of clothes to begin the next stage of their journey to safety in the United States.
