I was honored to be present at the Hugs Not Walls event held on the Rio Grande this past month. The event was organized by Border Network for Human Rights, and gives families on both sides of the border a chance to share a hug for three minutes. It was truly beautiful to see so many families reunited, even if only for a very short period of time! |
