Border Songs Project

Excellent concert by Calexico last night (complete with endorsements for Border Songs from the stage)! We sold 23 CDs = $460 for people in need.

Thank you Calexico and Sergio Mendoza for truly helping make border songs what it is. Without your contributions we would not be able to raise awareness for issues at the border and most importantly, raise funds for No More Deaths. Each album purchased provides the equivalent of 29 gallons of water or the equivalent of food, blankets, or medical supplies to those in need!

In fact, just from Calexico concerts in Tucson, PHX and Flag, we have sold 53 albums which = 1,539 gallons of water (or the equivalent in food, blankets or medical supplies)!

On January 5th at 7 pm at Southside Presbyterian Church, where the Sanctuary Movement began, we will be having our Tucson Border Songs release celebration. This will be a great night of music and spoken word, we will join together as a community and will raise money for No More Deaths! We would love to see you there!

The holiday season is here and a number of generous Flagstaff businesses have begun to sell Border Songs! Pick up a copy at:

Animas Trading Co (8. east route 66)

If you can’t make it into the store head on over to CD Baby to order online.

Thank you for all your support! Each album purchased puts 29 gallons of water in the desert!
