The Laredo community came out in force this past weekend to paint a papel picado-inspired mural in defense of our river, the lifeblood of our community. Together we’re celebrating this shared resource and urging OUR LEADERS to invest in our future by supporting the Binational Conservation Corridor that will bring communities together and protect OUR water supply for generations to come.

Check out this video by Vincent Albert Moreno of IRIS PRODUCTIONS which features just some of the incredible artists and community members from both sides of the border who poured their energy into this beautiful mural -
