“Crosses in the Desert - Where Dreams Die” - Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

August 20, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – “Crosses in the Desert - Where Dreams Die”
Alvaro Enciso is an artist and humanitarian living in Tucson who for the past decade or so has been working on a project called "Where Dreams Die - Donde Mueren Los Sueños," which places secular crosses, designed and constructed by him, at the locations where the remains of migrants have been discovered in the Sonoran Desert. To date, he has placed over 1,000 crosses for these dead migrants, to preserve the memory of them and their struggles for the "American Dream.”
“When you decide to come to this country, to make that difficult trip, it’s because you have no other options. You’ve run out of options. So the only option is to come here, where you will find what you’re looking for, or hope that you find what you’re looking for. But really you never really find it, because you find a crappy job that pays badly and you live in some ghetto,” Enciso said.

Beware of Microsoft scam email
- Category: Local News Releases Local News Releases
- Published: 12 August 2023 12 August 2023
SCAM EMAIL THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOUR COMPUTER
The email shows "Microsoft account team" as the source and the subject line is "Microsoft account unusual signin activity." The text of the body continues with "We detected something unusual ..."
These emails should NEVER be opened. It is a scam and it is "phishing" for your financial information or some kind of payment. The real Microsoft never contacts you this way and is certainly not monitoring your sign-in activity anyway.
