Would you be willing to help counter harmful narratives?
Would you be willing to help others learn about the complex issues of the borderlands and counter harmful narratives? The free event you just signed up for is just one small piece of the educational programming we provide at BorderLinks.
BorderLinks recognizes the power of story and creates space so borderlands communities can share their stories to empower, engage, and transform people. We examine the root causes of displacement, immigration, and relationship to the deportation system. We also look at how the white nationalist movement in the US uses xenophobia and racism in the media to legitimize violence within socioeconomic and political systems; a danger that makes our communities vulnerable. We confront anti-immigrant rhetoric through personal testimony, historical framing, and experiences that highlight contradictions for participants themselves. By drawing connections, participants can identify root causes and counter harmful narratives.
It’s folks like you who keep this mission alive—partnering with us to counter harmful narratives and change lives.
Will you pay it forward? Your gift today will educate others, like Kristen, a recent program participant:
“My time at Borderlinks was an absolute eye-opener and gift to me. It was emotional and challenging everyday because I was constantly thrown into situations where I was forced to examine the privileges that have been granted to me by being born in this body on this side of some arbitrary line in the sand. It changed me and the way I interact with the world.” —Kristen
