Laura Garciandia is a journalist living in Mexico City. Born in Havana, Cuba, she has traveled the world and she is bi-lingual in English and Spanish. She has worked with Central American migrants in Mexico for more than seven years. She has visited migrant shelters in Mexico both professionally and as a volunteer to provide services and to deliver donated clothing, medicine, and food. Laura listened to migrant stories and testimonies about the dangerous journey of migrants across Mexico. The idea emerged to create a guide for migrants to enable them to survive their trips. The guide would gather maps, emergency telephone numbers, the locations of shelters and survival tips for crossing deserts, rivers, and roads. She began a modest program of distributing survival guides in shelters and places where migrants gathered. Advice was shared concerning the activities of cartels, especially kidnapping and extortion. She began working everyday to find the most humanitarian routes where caregivers exist. She knew that through cooperation, the basic needs of the migrants could be met and dangers of traveling through Mexico could be alleviated.
In 2018, she partnered with Robin Hoover who was working on similar projects in the United States where migrants were facing the dangers of crossing deserts, especially in Texas and Arizona, the two most dangerous parts of the border. After the first large caravan formed in April, Laura and Robin met in Mexico City in November, 2018 when the enormous wave of caravans began arriving in Mexico City. They began their collaboration by interviewing experts in human rights, government, intelligence services, and activists. The product of their collaboration is a new website: guiamigrantes.com

As a pastor of progressive congregations, his energies have been focused since 1980 on organizing congregations, denominations, and volunteers to deliver goods and services to persons crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. Migrant safety, humanitarian, and legal services have been the focus of efforts to improve the lives of migrants. Current efforts are focused on providing migrants-especially from Central America-the information they need to successfully navigate Mexico safely and to survive crossing the border. His life work has been preserved in the Special Collections Library at the University of Arizona, and he has been recognized by many groups with honors and a 2006 recipient of Mexico’s National Human Rights Award bestowed by Presidente Felipe Calderon.

I travel to universities, conferences, study groups, and events, to make presentations, give lectures, facilitate group discussions, and sign books.
Congregations are one of the most important forums for discussing major social issues. I make presentations, preach, guide discussions.
Shelters need money, blankets, health kits, toiletries, prepaid phone cards, socks, shoelaces...there is no end to what they can use.
Working with elected officials, public administrators, and community leaders, we can ameliorate many of the effects of bad US policies.
