Join the movement.

Being Fronterizo is more than just an identity, it is a commitment to being involved in actively making our unique border community a better place to live, work, and find joy. From Yuma to Douglas, people like you and me are doing the good work to help others and build community. Get involved today.

Ethics

Fronterizo is built on a foundation of ethical storytelling, where the wellbeing and dignity of those we photograph come first. As actively involved volunteers, we prioritize the safety and agency of our subjects, ensuring that all photography is conducted with explicit or implied consent. Our goal is to share authentic experiences and stories in a respectful, non-extractive manner—amplifying voices rather than exploiting them, we take care to censor identifying details when safety is a concern, but believe that sharing their story is important to humanizing our region. Every image reflects a commitment to integrity, transparency, and the deep responsibility that comes with documenting life in the borderlands and beyond.
