S2E3: Governor Ducey's Border Wall Comes Down
from 90 Miles from Needles: the Desert Protection Podcast · host Chris Clarke
In late 2022, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey ordered the illegal construction of sections of ineffective but ecologically disastrous border wall made out of shipping containers. Then, in response to a federal order as he prepared to leave office, he ordered that wall torn down. Protesters on the ground helped in a big way, by forcing contractors to stop work on the project. We talk to Melissa Del Bosque, co-founder of the Border Chronicle project, a podcast and email newsletter reporting on border issues from Tucson, AZ. Our interview is accompanied by audio recorded on the scene of the illegal border container wall by Patrick Donnelly of the Center for Biological Diversity. Then, Chris and Alicia discuss upcoming episodes of the podcast and thank you listeners for your support.Become a desert defender!: https://90milesfromneedles.com/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
