River and border tour planned for Eagle Pass, Texas

A nonprofit organization that stresses community involvement and peaceful border solutions is hosting a weekend tour of Eagle Pass, Texas, and the Rio Grande. Amerika Garcia-Grewal, co-director of the Frontera Federation, said their Living River Convening event will give the public a chance to visit the South Texas border and view the river, as well as the Mexican border town of Piedras Negras. According to the event’s signup registration website says, the event “will address the intersection of border militarization, migrant rights, and the severe ecological degradation caused by climate change in the Rio Grande basin.”
