Border Déjà Vu: Biden Confronts Similar Challenges as His Predecessors | migrationpolicy.org

The arrival of vulnerable populations, especially children and families from Central America, has been a daunting challenge for close to a decade, with pronounced peaks in 2014 and 2019. But the last three months have seen the fastest rate of increase in arrivals of unaccompanied children on record, with nearly 5,700 arriving in January, just under 9,300 in February, and possibly more than 17,000 in March. This pace of arrivals has created the perception of both an out-of-control border and a heart-wrenching humanitarian emergency.

Home Page | The Archive of Healing

For many of us not trained in the medical profession or not raised by healers, we wonder if our only option remains an allopathic (“Western”) approach to healing, which is object-orientated (pharmaceuticals, technologically driven) and structured by historical injustices against women and people of color. The Archive of Healing™ not only draws from a large database collected over many years at UCLA, but accepts new submissions, all while working to protect the information from corporate resource extraction.

The Archive of Healing™ aims to provide an approach to wellness that democratizes knowledge about wellness and health. The data contained spans over 200 years, and draws from 7 continents, six university archives, 3,200 published sources, and both first and second-hand information from folkloric fieldnotes.  Source: Home Page | The Archive of Healing
