About 85 community members joined a trip to the U.S.-Mexico border wall in Nogales, Arizona, on Wednesday, Nov. 20. The bus trip, hosted by the Ruth and Irving Olson Center for Jewish Life and Hadassah Southern Arizona, included several speakers along the journey: immigration attorneys Alexandra Miller from Humane Borders and Gloria Goldman of Goldman & Goldman Immigration Attorneys; Fran Krackow, who volunteered at the Rincon Congregational United Church of Christ migrant shelter; and Phyllis Gold, Olson Center director. The group stopped for lunch and shopping in Tubac.
