The Friends of Friendship Park coalition will return to the park this Sunday afternoon and once again seek to celebrate communion with friends in Tijuana. We will meet at 2:30 p.m. at the entrance to Border Field State Park. Take Hwy 5 South, exit Dairy Mart Road, turn right and follow the winding road west to the park entrance. Wear boots for hiking and bring documents verifying residence in the United States. I hope you can join us.
Below my signature you can see a photo of the new chain-link fence that has been erected to eliminate beach access. This will present us with some difficult choices on Sunday, which we will discuss together before hiking to the beach.
Thank you all for your nonviolent response to the extreme conditions of our event last Saturday, February 21. To read an account of my experience last Saturday, see this blog post at Sojourners on-line.
There are several things you can do to support the effort, even if you are unable to participate on Sunday:
1) You can send a letter on-line to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano – be sure to mention “Friendship Park” when you personalize your letter.
2) You can donate now to support the costs of our events at the Park – be sure to indicate “Friendship Park” in the “dedication” line.
Adelante.
