About this listen
Linda and Steve were honored to interview humanitarian Laurie Cantillo, volunteer and board member for Humane Borders.
An author, journalist, and communications strategist, Laurie Cantillo has been interested in the border since moving to Arizona in the late 90s. She joined Humane Borders in early 2022 and has been a water truck driver for the Sasabe and BANWR routes. “I read an article about the thousands of migrant deaths right in my own backyard, and I was shocked,” she said. “This is a humanitarian crisis that doesn’t receive nearly the attention it deserves. It motivated me to help.”
In addition to delivering water for those in need, Cantillo is especially interested in bearing witness to the border crisis—sharing her experiences and seeking ways to foster a more humane border.
"The border has become so militarized and political, yet lost in the narrative is that people are dying. Migrants are risking it all for what we, as Americans, take for granted."
