The Urban Bird Project welcomed José Malvido, Xicano, Yoeme, and Tohono O’odham, Ph.D. Student from the University of Arizona. José shared his journey from the mining hometown of Ajo, Arizona, to his commitment to the Peace and Dignity Journeys. His talk on the pre-hispanic origins of the migration of humans and birds was refreshing, given our recent talks on the subject. José’s commitment to these journeys was inspiring and inviting as he detailed his run and the complexities of running through borders as the team runs across North and South America. He generously gave a community platicá around coordinating the run. He shared space in the classroom and within our local community. We are grateful for José’s presence and are sending great energy his way as he completes his program. Gracias, José!
