Look, Learn and Live Racial Justice: Week 15
1/4/21
This New Year’s edition of our Look, Learn and Live Racial Justice emails series brings a look back to the passage of the Emancipation Proclamation. We also invite you to join in local action seeking justice for Rodney Applewhite.
 
Our agency Black Lives Matter work group will resume meetings in January. If you are interested in participating in this group (on your own time) to address racial justice within our policies, departments and work, please RSVP to Celia’s invitation for our next meeting on Thursday, January 7th at 12:00pm. Kiley will send this out on Celia’s behalf and we welcome anyone interested in racial justice to join us!

​​LOOK: President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free." Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in the nation, it captured the hearts and imagination of millions of Americans and fundamentally transformed the character of the war.

LIVE IT: Fight for Our Lives Albuquerque is asking community members to join in making calls to Attorney General Hector Balderas and Governor Michelle Lujan asking for a full outside investigation by an outside agency into the police shooting that resulted in the death of 25-year-old Rodney Applewhite.
