Join LASO, the Center for Multicultural Life and ABLA for a book signing and talk from activist and author Dora Rodriguez.

In a life-saving attempt to flee El Salvador’s civil war in 1980, Dora Rodriguez was one of thirteen survivors found near death after crossing the Sonoran Desert. By courageously sharing her story and standing in unwavering support of migrant rights, Dora became a leading voice in Tucson’s Sanctuary movement.

Through public speaking and advocacy, Dora educates communities about the dangers migrants face in the desert and works to inspire change in the face of injustice.

She lives in Tucson, Arizona, with her husband and is a proud mother of five and grandmother. Dora serves as Founder and Director of Salvavision, a nonprofit offering aid and support to migrants and deportees.
