Indigenous Protesters in AZ Block Border Wall Assembly Site

HeadlineAug 28, 2020

In Coolidge, Arizona, members of several Indigenous communities, including the Tohono O’odham Nation, on Wednesday temporarily blocked access to a site where 30-foot steel barriers are assembled for use in the construction of Trump’s border wall. 

Protesters: “No border! No wall! No border! No wall! No border! No wall!”

The tribal members were nonviolently protesting the ongoing desecration of sacred sites on ancestral Indigenous land by construction crews building the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
