  • Speaker: Lily Spurgeon

    Theme: We will first look at the history of the state of New Mexico, still affecting New Mexicans today, from our guest speaker, Lily Spurgeon. In the coming weeks, we will look specifically at our city and what makes it so unique, leading to listening to stories from our many neighbors in our community.

  • Speaker: Birga Alden

    Theme: Human trafficking in New Mexico, providing facts on what is really going on and dispelling misinformation that gets spread through social media. Learning about human trafficking is a heavy topic. Recognizing signs of Human Trafficking and raising awareness can help prevent human trafficking and build support for the most vulnerable in our city.

  • Speaker: Beatriz Valencia

    Beatriz Valencia is the Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs Liaison for the Office of Equity and Inclusion for the City of Albuquerque.

  • Speaker: Q from the Basic Needs Consortium and Abbey Reed

    The common thread I continually see in basic needs, whether housing or food, clothing, or, most of all, safety, is that when we work toward restoring these for people, we are restoring the core dignity of all people to have access to basic needs.

  • Speaker: Monet Silva
