#SaveAsylum March  

Join us as we gather, online and in person, to stand with children asylum seekers and their families who will march in protest of the inhumane and unlawful dismantling of the U.S. asylum system and the subsequent consequences it has had on children. The event will begin with children migrants and their families marching from downtown Nogales, Sonora to the port of entry for a moment of prayer and then to the border wall where supporters on the U.S. side of the wall will receive them and hear the children’s testimonies.

In Person:  Join in person with advocates and supporters on the U.S. side of the border wall to listen to and validate children’s testimonies and demonstrate solidarity with asylum seekers marching on the Mexico side.
