What is Borderlinks?
Here is how they describe their mission...
 

"BorderLinks is a community-based organization where people collectively learn, teach, reflect, share resources, and organize for justice in the borderlands. Through popular education rooted in place and lived experience, BorderLinks and community partners inspire and ignite action to transform unjust border and (im)migration laws and conditions. We belong to movements for social transformation & collective liberation."


At this moment in our history, organizations such as this play an important role.  This is a unique opportunity to get to know them better.
