In undergrad at U of M, I took a course from Ian Robinson that became part of the Labor & Global Change Program. Over Spring Break, we visited Nogales, Mexico, toured a Ford factory, a maquila and stayed in the “colonias” (i.e., shantytowns) that most workers live in near the border.

With our new clarity about the realities of the border, we tossed around many ideas for bringing attention to the absurdity of the arbitrary line. My favorite idea was to organize a cross-border volleyball game, so I was excited to see this LA Weekly article about a recent cross border game promoted by BoingBoing.
