“Today, our team joined the One Billion Rising movement in Las Cruces, standing in solidarity with survivors and taking a powerful stand against violence in all its forms. After a 10-year absence, this event returned to our community, bringing people together to dance, rise, and demand justice.
“One of the organizations amongst the rest, was the New Mexico Breast Feeding Taskforce. The organization aims to make breast feeding normalized in the workplace.
The LGBTQ+ support organization, Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, also known as PFLAG, was also tabling at the event.
Another organization lending a helping hand to those in need, was the Migrant Education Program in partnership with Las Cruces Public Schools.”
A quote from PFLAG member, Oziel Villanueva: For me, personally, it’s nothing new, you know, we’re going through round two of people trying to challenge again our rights and cause. But you know, we don’t back down. We’re going to always be here to support and stand by our own and our general community.”
