Crossing the Line by Sarah Towle
DAUK activist and author Sarah Towle joins us on September 24 to discuss her newly launched book taking a deep dive into one of the most pressing issues of the election—immigration. It was family separation and “kids in cages” that drove Sarah Towle to the U.S. southern border. Crossing the Line: Finding America in the Borderlands charts Sarah’s journey from outrage to activism to abolition as she exposes, layer by “broken” layer, the global deterrence to detention to deportation complex that is failing everyone—save the profiteers and demagogues who benefit from it. The book is a Gold Winner of the Non-Fiction Book Awards.
"Sarah Towle has obliterated today's dead-end arguments about immigration and transformed them into riveting human stories. We all deserve a narrative with clarity, and Towle has delivered. Spectacular!"
—Ken Burns, Filmmaker
"A brilliant, engaging, and essential read for anyone seeking a true understanding of America’s borderlands.”
—Toluse Olorunnipa, Washington Post White House Bureau Chief and
Pulitzer Prize-winning author of His Name Is George Floyd: One Man’s Life and the Struggle for Racial Justice
