Our counties are being forced to do immigration work…. with your tax dollars.

Families are paying the price while nothing gets safer.
🔊 Communities like Brackettville have seen traffic stops spike by 400%, with no long-term support in sight.

Stop raiding our budgets. Stop punishing our communities.

🌎 Vivir de manera consciente con el medio ambiente: Un compromiso en el suroeste de Texas🌿

En las áridas tierras fronterizas del suroeste de Texas, donde el Río Grande serpentea a través de desiertos, las cicatrices de la militarización son profundas. Vamos a explorar las consecuencias ecológicas y la urgente necesidad de justicia ambiental:

- Párate en cualquier lado de la frontera y aún estarás en el mismo ecosistema. Pero el muro fronterizo y la militarización traen cicatrices y perturbaciones.
- Las antiguas rutas de migración de animales se ven atravesadas, y la frágil vegetación del desierto se marchita.
- Los desiertos y cursos de agua que cruza la frontera ya están entre los más afectados negativamente por el calentamiento global, la injusticia climática y el neoliberalismo.
- El propio Río Grande enfrenta amenazas por el uso excesivo y los cambios climáticos.
- Los esfuerzos de prevención a través del disuasión, como el muro fronterizo, interrumpen las rutas de migración de los animales, sus prácticas de alimentación y tradiciones de apareamiento.
- La vida silvestre en las tierras fronterizas lucha por sobrevivir, descuidada por decisiones políticas.
- El jaguarundi, el ocelote y otras especies enfrentan la fragmentación de su hábitat, lo que dificulta su capacidad para prosperar. El muro fronterizo es una barrera física para su supervivencia.
- Los ríos Colorado y Río Grande están perdiendo su capacidad para llegar al mar.

⚠️ La escasez de agua, la contaminación y el cambio climático amenazan estas arterias vitales!

🌎 Eco-Conscious Living: A Southwest Texas Commitment 🌿
In the rugged borderlands of Southwest Texas, where the Rio Grande weaves through arid deserts, the scars of militarization run deep. Let’s delve into the ecological consequences and the urgent need for environmental justice:

- Stand on either side of the border, and you’re still in the same ecosystem. But the border wall and militarization bring scars and disruption.
- Ancient animal migration routes are bisected, and fragile desert vegetation withers.
- The deserts and waterways that the border crosses are already among the most negatively affected by global warming, climate injustice, and neoliberalism.
- The Rio Grande itself faces threats from overuse and climate shifts.
- Prevention-through-deterrence efforts, like the border fence, disrupt animal migration routes, feeding practices, and mating traditions.
- Wildlife in the borderlands struggle to survive, neglected by political decisions.
- The jaguarundi, ocelot, and other species face habitat fragmentation, hindering their ability to thrive. The border wall is a physical barrier to their survival.
Waterways Under Siege: Colorado and Rio Grande
- The Colorado and Rio Grande rivers are losing their ability to reach the sea.
⚠️Water scarcity, pollution, and climate change threaten these lifelines!
