Witness for Gaza-Santa Fe has organised a reading of names of the known victims of genocide and Israeli civilians who died on October 7, 2023. Sign-up to read names at the Shrine of our Lady of Guadalupe near De Vargas Park. The reading of names started at sunset on October 1 and is expected to end on October 6 after teh recitation of ~69,000 names. Here is the article in the New Mexican.

GPNM submitted public comment to the Board of Commissioners for Doña Ana County against issuing $165B in bonds for BorderPlex Digital Assets, a Texas-based entity created for the development of an AI data center in Santa Teresa, known as Project Jupiter.  Unfortunately, the commission approved the bonds for the billionaires despite massive public outcry. 

GPNM submitted written comment prior to the hearing, and Travis Owens was able to make a statement in person.

Please consider offering comment on two items:

1. Support funding for an Office of Peacebuilding at the state level and provide young people and incarcerated folk with conflict resolution skills to reduce violence.
2. Ask them to require a water consumption analysis before considering any support for a resource-draining digital data centre in Santa Teresa.
