Women’s Rally In Albuquerque

January 23, 2017

January 23, 2017 – Thousands of people turned out in New Mexico last weekend to support the Women’s March on Washington. Rallies and marches took place in cities throughout the United States.

Did you attend the inauguration or women’s march? What was your experience in Washington D.C?

Are you taking action this year to engage in politics at the local or national level? 

Intern Kevin Maestas joined NMiF this semester for the People, Power and Democracy project, which examines ethics, accountability and transparency in state government. Maestas brought back images from the Albuquerque Women’s Rally.
