What is remarkable about intentional restoration is that the mere act of jump-starting the process always attracts willing volunteers once the process begins!

Borderlands Dialogues: On Empathy and Accompaniment, Part 1
Kristy: Well, cousin, we are finally out along the border… So what do you see as our task, or tarea, for this trip?
Gary: It seems to me that the U.S./Mexico has become more politicized that at any point in its 170-year history. So perhaps our task is not to further politicize the already volatile and politically contested conditions here. Instead, we are hoping to rehumanize, rather than dehumanize the many who have been caught in the crossfire here.
Kristy: From Nogales to El Paso today, we’ve already accompanied individuals with many different takes on the border crisis, on immigration policies, and human needs, haven’t we?
