social justice | New Mexico In Focus

This week on New Mexico in Focus, producer Sarah Gustavus sits down with an advocate from the Women’s Resource Center at UNM to talk about what the national conversation about sexual harassment and assault means for New Mexico.

Producer Sarah Gustavus also sits down with the organizer of a symposium showing how to match New Mexicans who have left the state, but want to return home, with employers and investors who can make that happen.

And NMiF host Gene Grant and the Line opinion panelists discuss top stories of the week, including the horrific random shooting death of two students at a high school in Aztec. The Line also looks at sexual harassment allegations by a New Mexico lobbyist, and weighs in on the Lt. Governor’s race.
