GROUPS OPPOSING GOVERNOR MARTINEZ’S CRIME AGENDA WILL BE AT THE ROUND HOUSE ON THURSDAY. MEMBERS OF NEW MEXICO SAFE WILL SPEAK OUT AGAINST WHAT THEY SAY ARE THE GOVERNOR’S OUTDATED AND INEFFECTIVE CRIME PROPOSALS BEING PRESENTED AT THE 2018 LEGISLATURE.
THE COALITION IS MADE UP OF 30 ORGANIZATIONS THAT INCLUDE COMMUNITY LEADERS, FAITH LEADERS, SOCIAL WORKERS AND ADVOCACY GROUPS. THE COALITION’S GOAL IS TO MAKE NEW MEXICO COMMUNITIES SAFER BY SUPPORTING COST-EFFECTIVE, EVIDENCE-BASED ALTERNATIVES TO JAIL THAT WILL REHAB OFFENDERS, KEEP FAMILIES INTACT AND ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF CRIME.
THEY’LL HOLD A NEWS CONFERENCE IN THE STATE CAPITOL IN SANTA FE AT 11AM THURSDAY.
