The Coalición de Derechos Humanos is a human rights organization headquartered in Tucson. The agency strives to promote justice and equality for humans - U.S. citizens or not - particularly in the Southern border region of the U.S. for over 30 years. Coalition members fight discrimination and injustice among law enforcement officials and work to end the increasing militarization of the border.

Their web site is particularly interesting - with a counter of all the bodies
recovered in the Sonoran desert each year. This year the number is at about 183.

People can get involved in the coalition by volunteering or attending some of their many events which include protests, movie screenings, awareness sessions and projects. Some projects in the past have been the Migrant Trail Walk in the summer of 2008 and the Bring Down the Walll campaign, started in 2003.

My favorite way to stay active is being part of the list-serve, which informs me about upcoming events and border-related news.
