"No More Deaths volunteer Dane Rossman, 20, of Califon, New Jersey, walks past what is known as a "rape tree" on August 30, 2007. Coyotes, or guides for the immigrants, have a history of raping women in their group, and leaving bras and panties on the nearest tree. Rossman started volunteering on August 12, 2007 and plans to stay through the end of summer when the camp shuts down. He has made himself increasingly active in border politics because he says that it is "one of the most blatant symbols of American capitalism and everything that's f***ed up with it." During this 15 mile hike through the Sonora Desert, Rossman passed three sites where immigrants had died." ©Joey Anchondo | Lightstalkers
