@NotAnotherFoot

A coalition of fronterizxs & allies from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific fighting to ensure #NotAnotherFoot of border wall is built through our communities.

[@NotAnotherFoot @notanotherfoot]

Activists from the #SouthernBorder held a series of actions as part of the #NotAnotherFoot campaign

From banner drops off bridges and existing #borderwall, to silent marches on both sides of the border in CA/Tijuana, over 12 cities took part in urging @POTUS to #EndItForGood

[Natural Resources Democrats @NRDems]

When @USGAO completes the analysis Chair @RepRaulGrijalva requested of all the cultural and environmental damage done by unpopular #BorderWall construction, we’ll have a roadmap for accountability & restoration.

Read this @LaikenJordahl #NoBorderWall piece on why it’s necessary

[@NotAnotherFoot @notanotherfoot]

“We tried to let people in Laredo understand that we were threatened to lose [our wonderful and beautiful ecological treasures.] The #BorderWall would tear down these ecological areas and would deny access of Laredoans to the riverside.”

Biden’s DOJ is still seizing land from Texas families to build the #BorderWall.

@POTUS must swiftly order his attorneys to vacate these suits, just as he promised during his campaign. His inaction so far has caused dozens of families to lose their land

[El Paso Matters @elpasomatters]

On Election Day 2018, public backlash forced the El Paso Border Patrol to scrap plans for a “crowd control exercise” near a Hispanic neighborhood. Newly released emails show the event essentially was a media stunt that drew heavy criticism within @CBP. 1/ https://t.co/sDewyH3qZO

Last week we visited a #BorderWall construction site in the Patagonia Mtns. It looked the same, just without workers.

Materials stacked, death machines idle, piles of dirt atop a dynamited mountain. The risk of erosion is terrifying. A ticking time bomb waiting for the rain.

[Roberto Alejandro Lopez @RobertoAleLopez]

Abbott’s fear-mongering to make up for his failures not only keeps racism alive and well, but further harms our communities.

Border militarization is a tax on the most poor of us, a tax on time, money and dignity. It shows in these citations made by officers with nothing to do.

[Laiken Jordahl @LaikenJordahl]

NEW: @USFWS FOIA docs detail astounding recklessness by #BorderWall construction crews & @DHSgov, including vehicle rollovers, a helicopter evacuation in wilderness, numerous speeding violations & the destruction of saguaro & other vegetation at the Cabeza Prieta Wildlife Refuge.

[Texas Civil Rights Project @TXCivilRights]

Despite the Biden administration’s cancellation of border wall construction, 140 eminent domain cases that could result in the seizure of homes along the border are still active. Our clients, the Cavazos family, are still on track to lose their land. https://t.co/Om9PINTxj4

[Families Belong Together @fams2gether]

“This long overdue reprieve is a huge step toward justice for people and wildlife in the borderlands. We’re grateful that the Biden administration has stopped this senseless destruction.” — @LaikenJordahl of @CenterForBioDiv

[Roberto Alejandro Lopez @RobertoAleLopez]

This is good news, but please note that this DOES NOT include South Texas or the San Diego sector.

Biden has still not canceled contracts or dismissed suits in the #RGV, and he still has our client's land. We're NOT in the clear.

[Joaquin Castro @JoaquinCastrotx]

I led the charge in Congress against President Trump’s unconstitutional order stealing money from the military for his border wall.

This reversal is a victory for Texas and the rule of law.

I urge @POTUS to also withdraw all lawsuits and return private land seized for the wall.

[Laiken Jordahl @LaikenJordahl]

BREAKING: @DHSgov announces initial steps & mitigations to "protect border communities from physical dangers" caused by Trump's wall.

"DHS will soon complete a plan that identifies additional measures to address the damage resulting from [prior admin] border wall construction."

[Laiken Jordahl @LaikenJordahl]

"@POTUS is cancelling projects to build a wall along the southern border using diverted defense funds and will use some funding to repair environmental damage from the wall's construction."

Details yet to come, but this is HUGE news for the borderlands.https://t.co/LDk97QVIq3

[Roberto Alejandro Lopez @RobertoAleLopez]

.@joebiden keep your word. 2 weeks and counting, you’ve taken this families land for a wall even though you told ⁦@NPR ⁦@lourdesgnavarro⁩ you were out of the cases. The family is not stopping and we won’t either.

#KeepYourWord
#NotAnotherFoot

[Laiken Jordahl @LaikenJordahl]

Today @RepRaulGrijalva sent a letter urging @POTUS & @VP to:

▪️ Immediately cancel all #BorderWall contracts
▪️ Develop a meaningful environmental mitigation plan
▪️ Divert wall funds to enviro restoration
▪️ Rescind Real ID Act waiver
▪️ Remove military from border communities

[Raul M. Grijalva @RepRaulGrijalva]

Trump's border wall caused irreparable environmental harm, destroyed sacred sites, and endangered the public health and resources of border communities.

President Biden must ensure that #NotAnotherFoot of border wall is constructed under his watch. https://t.co/tz6CgwH8l6

[Laiken Jordahl @LaikenJordahl]

The Biden admin just seized land from the Cavazos family to build the border wall—land the family has owned since the 1760s, long before there ever was a border.

Biden promised land condemnations would end under his admin. Now he’s breaking that promise.https://t.co/eVRQ672B0a

[Roberto Alejandro Lopez @RobertoAleLopez]

The Cavazos fam are working tirelessly to tell their story. This is the upteenth interview they’ve done in recent days on top of what they’ve been doing for years.

@JoeBiden these are the people you’re taking land from. Revest the land. Stop the suits.
