Our Youtube Channel Sierra Club's "Borderlands" webpage
The Borderlands program...
- is working and collaborating with other organizations on multiple projects to bring awareness to the border communities and the rest of the nation about the current request to the Biden-Harris Administration to stop and/or remove Border wall segments that are causing harm to people, communities, wildlife and/or the land and remediate the damages.
- These and other harms were facilitated and exacerbated by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security issuing waivers that bypassed federal, state, and local laws that would otherwise have protected the borderlands.
- Get involved!
- Would you like to volunteer with the Borderlands program and make a difference?
- Please reach out to Borderlands coordinator: erick.meza@sierraclub.org
