THIRST 2022 TIMELINE
THIRST 2022: Artists for Humanitarian Aid is a national collection of artists joining together to raise funds for humanitarian aid at the Arizona-Sonora Border through art and conversation.
The mission fueling THIRST 2021 is two fold:
Raise funds to support Tucson-based frontline organizations supplying humanitarian aid in the desert. Read more about the 2022 organizations, No More Deaths and The Florence Project, here.
Raise awareness of the ongoing human rights abuses occurring at the Mexican-American border, including destruction of humanitarian aid, border detention conditions, Title 42, and the ongoing ramifications of Family Separation Policies.
