Shows featuring Father Alejandro Solalinde

Hi there,

This month, Democracy Now! marks 29 years of fearless independent journalism. Presidents have come, gone and come back again, but Democracy Now! remains, playing the same critical role in our democracy: shining a spotlight on corporate and government abuses of power and raising up the voices of scholars, advocates, scientists, activists, artists and ordinary people working for a more peaceful and just world. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today in honor of our 29th anniversary. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Hi there,

Father Alejandro Solalinde

Is a Catholic priest who is on a “Caravan of Hope” across the United States to draw attention to the plight of Central American migrants traveling here through Mexico, and who are often deported back to Mexico into dangerous conditions. He received the 2012 National Human Rights Award from Mexico’s President Enrique Nieto for his work. He is the founder and director of Hermanos en el Camino (Brothers in the Road), a shelter for migrants in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca.
