In a life-saving attempt to flee El Salvador’s civil war in 1980, Dora Rodriguez was one of thirteen survivors found near death while crossing the border through the Sonoran Desert. By bravely publicizing her story of migration and through her unwavering support for migrants' rights, Dora’s image has been propelled to the forefront of the sanctuary movement in Tucson, AZ. Dora’s focus is to educate communities about the harsh realities migrants face in the desert and to inspire transformative changes to the immigration injustices plaguing our border towns. She serves as the Director of Salvavision, a nonprofit offering aid and support to migrants and deportees.
