#Activist #TreeSit in #Ancient #Cottonwood Continues Against #BorderWall Construction in #Arizona
August 19, 2026, via @DemocracyNow_Headlines_rss
"A protest camp in the small border town of Lochiel, Arizona, is seeking to stop federal contractors from building another portion of President #Trump’s border barrier with Mexico. At the center of the protest camp is a 200-year-old cottonwood known as a '#grandmother' tree, with activists sitting in the tree to physically stop its destruction.
" 'People are successfully forcing the government to stop, to slow down, or at least change course on border wall construction,' says journalist John Washington, a staff writer for the queer news outlet Lookout and author of multiple books about immigration. 'They’ve been very clear that this is both an environmental and a political fight.' "

"A defender of #GrandmotherTree phoned into the celebration for the 55th anniversary of friendship park to discuss what is happening in Southern #Arizona and how the defenders of Grandmother tree have stopped border wall construction,' Kate Scott said today at the tree sit in Lochiel.
" #FriendshipPark is a #binational site sitting directly on the #USMexico border, split between San Diego, California, and Playas de Tijuana, Baja California.
"Defending Grandmother isn’t just about
protecting an ancient tree, it’s about building a community of land defenders across the whole southern border & beyond. If we can stop construction here, we can do it anywhere!""We hope what is happening down here in Lochiel, AZ inspires you to take action in your community,"
