The Border Chronicle team had a great night in Douglas, Arizona, on Wednesday. We met with local residents and came away with some very good story ideas to pursue, which you'll be seeing in your inbox soon. If you're in Bisbee on June 23rd, join us at the Bisbee Library at 5:30 p.m. where we will be talking about border journalism and host a discussion on issues important to border residents. We want to hear from you about what we should be covering more of, and what's happening in your community. Also, don't hesitate to reach out to us at theborderchronicle@protonmail.com
🤩 More Events: Tonight in Tucson! Todd Miller will be in conversation with the legendary investigative journalist Amy Goodman cofounder of Democracy Now! at The Loft. Goodman is touring with the new documentary Steal this Story, Please! about her fearless investigative journalism at Democracy Now! Tonight's film and Q&A are sold out, but you can catch the documentary at The Loft through June 4th. You don't want to miss this inspiring film that will fire you up and lift your spirits, during these dark times.
