Common Ground on the Border VIII
18th Annual Santa Cruz Valley Border Issues Fair
January 12-16, 2021 at The Good Shepherd United Church of Christ in Sahuarita, AZ
The US / Mexico borderlands has always been a beautiful mix of culture, language, cuisine, economies and people. It has also been a place of struggle, high and low temperatures, a fragile environment and the push and pull of immigration.
Common Ground on the Border is the perfect place to explore the arts, explore the culture and have deeper conversations about the complicated issues that collide here. This year, during this global pandemic, we will host this event online and we will hope to gather in person in January of 2022. To learn more and to register, click here.
