“For me, it’s important [to have allies on both sides] because we’re able to highlight our community in a positive light … We have this binational life, so we can show how collaborations can be so fruitful,” Sanchez said.

Happy News is all around us. Instead of causing massive division these towns came together to celebrate life.
