Generation Justice

On this week's podcast, we bid a fond farewell to Melissa Harris, who has been our Operations Coordinator for the past 4 years. We also say “Hello” and welcome to our new OC, Jennifer Lim! Finally, we introduce our newest segment, Community Corner, where we'll be featuring the amazing local organizations that call Albuquerque home.

Generation Justice highlights the Early Childhood Development Movement in New Mexico. We feature Jessa Bunker, Public Policy Advocate at CHI St. Joseph's Children, and throughout our podcast, you'll hear from young parents across NM about the importance of home-visitation programs.

Now that the 2016 legislative session is over, we reviewed it from a community perspective. This Sunday, we featured Adriann Barboa of Strong Families New Mexico/Forward Together and Emma Sandoval of the SouthWest Organizing Project. Both powerful women gave us their take on the legislative session.

We dedicated the hour to sharing music selected by our GJ crew! Take a listen to the songs that we can’t get out of our heads and the latest on what is happening in our community.

This Valentine’s Day, we talked about love, self-love, and sex education. We talked with Juan Silva, Danny Perez, and Mariana Rodriguez - 3 Enlace Comunitario members who spoke out about the importance of healthy relationships and how to prevent teen dating violence. Then, we were joined by Kira Luna of the Rape Crisis Center of Central New Mexico to talk about the realities of sexual violence.
