Opening Reception Entertainment
Rev. John Fife
Opening Speaker
Reverend John Fife is a retired Presbyterian minister, human rights advocate and a founding
patriarch of the Sanctuary Movement. Between 1982-92, some 15,000 Central Americans came
through his church, Southside Presbyterian Church in Tucson, Ariz., seeking safe harbor or assistance
after fleeing civil war and death squads in their home countries. His church’s action helped spawn a
movement of 560 congregations that aided Central American refugees and immigrants with immediate
The James Jones family has been dancing in the powwow
circle for more than 15 years. They enjoy dancing, because it
brings a sense of happiness, comfort, and spiritual support to
them and those around them. They are happy to be included
and hope you enjoy the stories and the dancing.
Ballet Folklorico de Colores of Flagstaff is a
non-profit organization dedicated to
teaching traditional Mexican folk dance.
They offer classes for all levels and all ages
and perform frequently throughout the state.

support, moving them to safer places, in some cases Canada. By the mid-1980s, the federal government
sent spies into his church to gather evidence against Fife’s efforts, and in 1986 he was convicted with
seven others on alien-smuggling charges. He served a five-year probation sentence, a turn of events
that never interrupted his work. In a new century of immigration controversy, Fife helped start the
Samaritan Patrol along the Mexico-Arizona border in 2002. It aims to relieve the suffering of migrants
by offering them food and water and advocating for a more humane border policy. Samaritan Patrol is
now part of a larger border-monitoring organization, No More Deaths, for which Fife is a co-founder.
Fife is also an honorary board member of BorderLinks, which focuses on border education and
globalization issues.

Repeal Coalition
Activist Award Recipient
The Arizona Repeal Coalition is an organization committed to repealing the over 60 anti-immigrant laws and bills that have been passed or considered by Arizona politicians. We demand the repeal of all laws—federal, state, and local—that degrade and discriminate against undocumented individuals and that deny U.S. citizens their lawful rights. We demand that all human beings-with papers or without-be guaranteed access to work, housing, health care, education, legal protection, and other public benefits, as well as the right to organize. Our strategy is to help build a grass roots social movement that can repeal these laws, change the terms of the national debate on immigration, and expand the freedom of all people-documented and undocumented.
