Every Tuesday since the year 2000, members of Frontera de Cristo, a religious organization, have led the "Healing Our Borders Prayer Vigil."
In the border city of Douglas, Arizona, the street that leads you to Mexico is the same path used to remember migrants who died in Cochise County trying to cross the border into the United States.
Every Tuesday since the year 2000, members of Frontera de Cristo, a religious organization, have led the "Healing Our Borders Prayer Vigil."
ABC15 was present at one of the vigils where Jack Knox, a volunteer, led the vigil.
According to Knox, three years before the vigil started, “there had already been a few people dying in the desert” but there was a monsoon storm that caused more devastation in the community in terms of migrant deaths.
