SUMMARY:Author Talk with Sarah Towle - Crossing the Line: Finding America i
 n the Borderlands
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Sarah Towle author of Crossing 
 the Line: Finding America in the Borderlands.\n\n"Crossing the Line: Findi
 ng America in the Borderlands charts Towle's journey from outrage to acti
 vism to abolition as she exposes\, layer by broken layer\, the now global 
 deterrence-to-detention-to-deportation complex that is set up to fail ever
 yone — save the profiteers and demagogues who benefit from it.\n\nSarah 
 deftly weaves oral storytelling\, history\, and memoir together to illustr
 ate how US policy has led the charge in flouting post-WWII global commitme
 nts to protecting human rights. Yet within the web of criminalization and 
 cruelty\, Sarah finds hope in the extraordinary acts of ordinary heroes wh
 o prove\, every day\, that there is a better way. By amplifying their voic
 es and celebrating their efforts\, Sarah reveals that we can welcome with 
 dignity those most in need of safety and compassion. In unmasking the real
  root causes of the “crisis” in human migration\, she urges us to act 
 before we travel much further down our current course—one which history 
 will not soon forgive\, or forget."\n\nPresented in partnership with Amnes
 ty Mid-Hudson.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nRegister:\n\nhttps://townofulsterlibrary.libc
