Interactive: America's Story is an Immigrant Story

Belonging is a fundamental human need, and one that is linked to many of the most complex challenges of our time. Without a sense of belonging, individuals and communities suffer; with it, they thrive. Yet, because belonging is notoriously difficult to measure, it is often ignored in efforts to address the deep fractures in our societies. One purpose of this report is to call attention to belonging as a factor that matters deeply for leaders and stakeholders across diverse sectors.

SINCE 1998, AT LEAST 7,805 HUMAN BEINGS HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS THE U.S.-MÉXICO BORDER. MORE THAN 3,527 PEOPLE REMAIN DISAPPEARED. In their absence, tens of thousands of families across the United States and Latin America are left with the agonizing uncertainty of not knowing what has happened to their loved ones. In addition to the emotional trauma they face each day, families are denied truth and justice. The consequences of border deaths and disappearances are felt throughout the Americas: families living in 14 countries and in 43 states across the U.S. have reported disappeared relatives to Colibrí. Colibrí and families of the disappeared — along with medical examiners and other human rights organizations — refuse to let these lives be forgotten. Overcoming enormous challenges to identify the dead, together we search for answers, demand justice, and reunite families with their loved ones — important, unique, and irreplaceable human beings.
