BorderLinks

BorderLinks is a small, non-profit organization based in Tucson, Arizona, with a staff of three. Founded in 1987, the organization is dedicated to fostering understanding and empathy towards the complexities of life along the U.S./Mexico border. BorderLinks achieves this mission by offering educational immersion trips to delegations within the Arizona-Sonora region and beyond the border to Chiapas. Through these immersive experiences, BorderLinks provides participants with firsthand insight into the challenges faced by migrants and the communities impacted by border policies. The organization aims to shed light on the often-overlooked realities of life along the border, challenging preconceived notions and inspiring individuals to become advocates for social change. BorderLinks' distinctive approach involves creating dynamic educational experiences that connect divided communities and raise awareness about the multifaceted implications of immigration policies. Their educational trips offer a platform for dialogue, reflection, and ultimately, a call to action for individuals to engage in meaningful efforts to promote a more just and equitable border region.
