Are you concerned with the direction that our political and economic leadership are taking us? Do you understand the value of community institutions where disenfranchised, every day folks can organize to impact the decisions that afect our lives? As you may already know, this year is SWOP's 25th anniversary with a continued mission to 'empower ourselves and our communities to realize racial and gender equality and social and economic justice.' We feel this is a major victory for low-income, working and people of color here in New Mexico. Now more than ever we need institutions like SWOP where people can organize to impact the decisions that affect our lives. These are decisions increasingly made by special interests, corporate interests, and in New Mexico in particular patrón politicians.
To put it bluntly, SWOP needs your help to continue to fight for the values, needs and interests of working families. To quote our late compañera (and my mom) Jeanne Gauna, "Please join us. New Mexico is not for sale."
You can be a part of our celebration by placing an ad in our commemorative program, by attending January 21 celebration or by sending us your $30 solidarity statement (20-25 wds).
For more info on ad rates, ticket sales or solidarity statements call SWOP @ 505 247 8832 or Email me.
