About No More Deaths
Since the mid 1990s more than 5,000 men, women and children have died trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. No More Deaths began in the Spring of 2004 as a network of diverse faith-based groups, social activist groups, and concerned individuals who felt compelled to act to stem the tide. One of their many initiatives has been to leave water in the desert for those who have found themselves unprepared in crossing the treacherous desert between Mexico and Arizona.
