A Day of Global Rememberance
During this time of social distancing caused by COVID-19, the organizers of HT94 are seeking ways to safely engage with those who are committed to remembering the thousands of people who have died and disappeared along the U.S./Mexico border in search of a better life. They are asking people to film themselves reading the name of a person who has died crossing the U.S./Mexico border in Southern Arizona, along with the details of that person’s death. They understand it may be difficult to speak these things out loud, but are hopeful that this can be a way for people to both bear witness to the harsh realities of U.S. Border Patrol policies and keep the memories alive of the thousands who have died in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. Through this digital participatory event, communities from around the world will be able to come together virtually in a global moment of reflection.
