SAMARITANS & NO MORE DEATHS
Photographs by Michael Hyatt
In 2004 I was invited to photograph the humanitarian work of Samaritans, and
then the efforts of the No More Deaths coalition when it formed. Since 2002
Samaritans have provided water, treated severe sprains and other injuries,
bandaged blistered feet (life-threatening on a long desert walk), called Border
Patrol Search & Rescue units for severely dehydrated persons, offered
blankets during cold winter nights, helped non-migrants in distress, and worked
to reinforce a sense of human dignity for those less fortunate. No More Deaths
is a non-profit coalition of individuals, faith communities, human rights advocates,
and grassroots organizations who have come together to work for social justice
in the Borderlands. Volunteers hike migrant trails and work to educate the
public about the root causes of migration into Arizona. Email Michael for more info.
