There are numerous reasons, according to the Pioneer Valley Interfaith Refugee Action Group, that so many refugees from Central America are arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border. Aside from violence, poverty and hunger in their native countries, climate change is also taking a heavy toll.
On Sunday, May 2, the refugee action group, along with a co-sponsoring group, Climate Action Now, will host “Escapa por tu Vida” (Escape for your life), an online presentation on the environmental problems driving many people from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras in particular to the southern U.S. border.
